If his trailer is only at 3,300lbs loaded (according to his first post), then he is not over weight.

There's nothing to be confused about. You said your trailer only weighs 3,300lbs loaded; so you are OK (the 7,000lb GVWR for your trailer is irrelevant; the actual weight of the loaded trailer is what's important). Again, ACTUAL weights are what matters. As long as you haven't exceeded any of the categories I listed (H3's GVWR, GCWR, Max Trailer Weight), you are fine.

Is your truck, as loaded, less than 5,850lbs? Yes? Good, so far. Is your trailer, as loaded, less than 4,500lbs? Yes? Good, so far. Is the combined weight of your truck (loaded) and trailer (loaded) less than 9,500lbs? Yes? Good. Congrats; you can tow the trailer.
