Am I reading this right? (Receiver capacity)
I just saw this sticker on my new (to me) tow vehicle. Am I correct in assuming that with a weight distribution hitch, I can have a tongue weight of up to 1500lbs? Weights: TV: G...

Epilogue:
The new trailer and truck are doing fine, the first journey (to a CG an hour down the road) was uneventful, and I wasn't half bad parking the much longer combination. The tow experience was WORLDS better, due to the "proper" tow vehicle. I won't say that I forgot the trailer was back there, but it was about as close as it could come to that.
A closer examination showed that the hooks are getting blocked by the locking part of the hitch pin - as were the D-rings. Unfortunately, the hitch pin is right above the hook points. I'm not sure what to do about that; but I can get the hooks *most* of the way on; that will have to do until I figure out something more intelligent.
I have yet to get to a scale and get weights now that I am "fully loaded"; but that is on my list for the next trip.
I appreciate everyone's help and input. I certainly was thankful for you all this Thanksgiving.
