Looking for help on TT decision

Your tongue weight will be higher than you think and will probably put you right at, or even slightly over your payload number. With that said I still think you'll be fine towing that tt. Payload numbers are only one factor to consider and are very conservative. A hundred pounds over isn't going to hurt anything. I'm not saying you should ignore it but I wouldn't base my decision on that alone. More importantly you will be well under the axle and tire ratings.
If you're really concerned about staying under payload consider that a portion (~20percent)of that tongue weight will get transferred back onto the tt axles through the use of a wd hitch. See if the dealer will let you hook up and go to the scales. It won't be loaded but will give you an idea of actual weight.
