Loaded for a long term trip we have a tougne weight of 4380. Empty from the factory the tongue weight was 3280. I carry some fairly heavy stuff in the basement.

2007 GMC 3500 weights loaded for long term trip:
Steer Axle - 4720
Drive Axle - 7940
Trailer Axles - 13380

Haven't weighed the 2012 yet. I agree that GVWR is 13000 but also look at each axle, the front is rated for 5600 and the rear is 9375 (4X4 model). You will probably be right at the GVWR but well under each axle and well under max tire load.

On Edit: Weights include 2 passengers, half full fresh water, 86 gallons of fuel and lots of tools in the truck bed. I have truck weights without trailer if you need them.
