Well I've actually weighed the junk I carry in it simply because I was curious - about 420 lbs including the hitch assembly. Vehicle load is about 450 so total vehicle load is about 4400-ish. I am DESPERATELY looking for a new vehicle that will most likely be a Silverado/Sierra. Whatever I get it will certainly be a much better TV than what I have, so that will certainly help.
The weight of the hitch assembly only matters to the tow vehicle, which may have a limit at that point. It has nothing to do with trailer weight, nor can it be counted as "tongue weight"...if the tongue weight number you gave earlier included that assembly you're in more trouble than ever.
No matter what tow vehicle you put this trailer behind, it's going to sway if you don't get the tongue-to-trailer ratio within the proper limits.
