you are going to 'jack up' the car.
The problem is the stress you put on all the attachment componets of the car. Not just the mounting points of the hitch. The suspension, tranny mounts, motor m0unts, etc etc.
Very few cars are made on frames anymore. they are unibody. So the stress of pulling that load are magnified thruoghuot the unibody.

That is a classic pound foolish example.
