So, add up the people weight (all three) and ANYTHING else you have put on the truck (accessories, tools, ...etc) and subtract that from your door jam posted payload capacity. What's left over is the max tongue weight the trailer can have . . .
If the receiver in question is rated to handle the "left over" weight, yes. Otherwise, no.
To clarify: Let's say the "left over" weight is 1250 lbs. If the OP's receiver is only rated by the manufacturer to handle 1000-1050 lbs. of tongue weight, then your suggestion would not be applicable.
