Is the hitch rated any higher WDH? towing the truck 4 down will place almost no weight on the hitch and generally that weight is based on carrying the trailer load. I would be completely comfortable using the higher WDH number as the load on the hitch will be much less the this.
Personally I would not worry about that hitch rating for towing a half ton 4 down. the truck will need its own brakes either way.
Hitch rating is 10,000 lbs. I've looked into the braking and towing set up. Company said they run about $3,000.
