How many of these weights are actual scSale weights or are they "estimates"? I learned a lot when I started weighing my rigs about fifteen years ago. A fiberglass bed cover, generator, girlfriend, tool box, and a few other items left me with very little (600 pounds) of payload on my mighty F-150 back then.
Scales definitely tell the story. Once you know the real numbers, then you need to determine what you are satisfied with for towing and ride. As we know, there are a lot of opinions and comfort levels with different setups. I was very comfortable towing at near my max gross weight when camping local. Loaded for and traveling cross country was a different matter. My solution was to trade up to a 3/4 ton and I am quite happy with that decision.
