Another thing to consider.
Can you even get a trailer hitch rated for the max rating of the vehicle?
For example my camaro has a 2,000lb trailer and 200lb hitch rating. BUT no one ever bothered to make a hitch rated for that much. The only ones ever sold were rated for 1,000lb of trailer and 100lb of hitch weight.
Apparently this is very common with car trailer hitches.
