How to read these numbers

Worked example for the SR5 XtraCab 4x2 with the i-FORCE 2.4L turbo gas: a trailer at its full 6,500 lb rating puts about 780 lb on the hitch at 12 percent tongue weight. Add two adults at 350 lb and 1,130 lb of its 1,460 lb payload is used, leaving 330 lb for cargo and gear.
