GVWR vs. UVWR ??

Ok guys I am looking at buying a toyhauler in the near future...I have a 02' CC LWB 5.4 and please i don't want to hear about how much better diesels are. Anyway I am looking at a pull trailer with a GVWR 7650# and a UVWR of 4760#.... Am I correct in assuming the 7650 is wet weight and the other is empty weight and would my SD handle this ok. They have another model that says it is fit for a 1/2 ton and has the same GVWR.
TIA

first off you need to find the weight of the truck the weight of the fuel passengers and cargo in your truck when towing this you add those up and subtract them from the gvwr of the truck that leaves you with the weight of the trailer subtract the tongue weight of it and then you get the right trailer size
