I'm not sure what the dry weight is, but on our recent trip, we did get weighed, and the Sequoia by itself (trailer detached) was 5,980. That included 1 person, a 50 lb dog, the 3rd row of seats removed (which removed 110 lbs), and the cargo area fairly well loaded, but not packed to the brim. That's a fair amount below the GVWR of 6,600, but once the trailer was reattached and I got back in the TV, I'm sure we were right at the limit.

As stated in the first PDF I attached, the "cargo capacity" limit, i.e. occupants, cargo, tongue weight, etc., is 1,250 lbs. I don't know if this is an accurate assumption, but my guess is GVWR - cargo limit = dry weight, which is 5,350, the number you came up with.
