How to read these numbers

Worked example for the S King Cab 6 ft 4x2 with the 3.8L V6, 310 hp: a trailer at its full 7,150 lb rating puts about 860 lb on the hitch at 12 percent tongue weight. Add two adults at 350 lb and 1,210 lb of its 1,590 lb payload is used, leaving 380 lb for cargo and gear.
