I notice you didn't factor your tongue weight into your spreadsheet.
So if the sequoia has 1230lb payload capacity (from your spreadsheet), and you have a 1000lb tongue... how do you figure 820lbs remaining payload?

The spread sheet and scale weights answer all questions.
Keep in mind, the payload sticker is meaningless with known scale weights. Actual or remaining Payload is a derived number from actual scale weights.
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (7300lbs) - Curb Weight (6480lbs-loaded with family) = Remaining Payload (820lbs).
Add my rounded tongue weight of 1000lbs, then subtract the WDH transferred weight as shown on the scale from WDH attached vs not attached (exactly 200lbs) and you'll clearly see how ad why the math works out.
With the WDH connected, the Gross Vehicle Weight is 7200lbs, just 100lbs under. I consider this max'd out.
It's all there and dead nuts accurate. There is nothing to hide.
