As moritzes asks, weigh the tongue separately or with a Sherline trailer tongue scale Amazon @ $169. Then compare that to your 1,592 pound payload, the difference will let you know what else you can have in the truck cab and box.

If you have the CAT scale app on your smart phone it makes doing 3 passes on the scale really easy.
Pass 1 everything loaded ready to travel WDH hooked up.
Pass 2 truck and trailer with springs/bars of the WDH disconnected and in the pickup bed
Pass 3 just the truck.

Pass 2 & 3 will give you tongue weight since you are not transferring any weight with the WDH bars/springs disconnected. It's all tongue weight on the truck during pass 2
