Both

Get a class 4 hitch good for 10K lbs and then also payload, for a minor example a new-ish 1/2 ton in a limited or high trim level can have a payload in the 900-1000 lbd range.

Then take your 10% trailer weight to the tongue, in your instance from memory ~600lbs that comes off payload then your 300lbs and "stuff" I bet you would be over weight.

So you need to look at the vehicle payload.

I'll be back with more, need to run out.
