No payload stickers on the pre 06 trucks. 6250 minus the weight of the truck loaded as you would hook it up to tow would give you your available payload.
Your hitch weight added to that should not exceed 6250. You can probably safely get to the 6600lb rating. That would only require 660 to just under 800lbs of available payload to cover a 10 to 12 percent hitch weight.
If what you are looking at is a boat you can probably for sure get to 6600 as the hitch weights on boats are often a lot less than 10% of the towed weight.

My toy hauler is 4650 "dry" in the brochure, 5025 yellow stickered, 6740 ready to camp with no water (500 lbs. of motorcycles).
My truck is rated to tow 9800, but I would not want to try any more than the 6740, 69% of its rated capacity.
Your 4120 dry will be 5300 with no water. I suggest you rent a camper for a weekend to see how it feels to tow it and weight it on the scale before you buy one that's too heavy.
