Agree with your comments and add that these ratings are to measure/record during a static loading condition.
Dynamically, these force vectors will be many times higher than the static vectors. Then shock vectors...
Also agree that it is the TV's steering the main reason for WD Hitches...to get the front suspension back to a better setup...which includes the tires as the main component to manage the moments against the TV. Lost to so many is that a tires slip angle is way larger when unloaded too much.
Was hoping the OP would post a picture of their receiver rating label...and if they are using a 2" reducer sleeve...which also reduces the receiver rating at 2.5".
