Basically: - GVWR - (unloaded weight/scaled weight) = cargo capacity (including tongue weight)
- GCWR - (unloaded weight/scaled weight) = max trailer+cargo weight
Note that if the weight number you've found includes things like a full fuel tank, full water, two people, etc. then the values above would be the "extra" weight it can handle on top of that.
