The OEM receiver on the wifes 2016 1500 chevy crew cab 4wd short bed 5.3 with a 9200 lb tow rating says 1200 load and 12000 draw. No other info numbers on the OEM receiver sticker.
I use her 4wd truck pulling a 10000 lb gvwr car hauler with a 7640 lb blue tractor/cab. The tractor sits on 58" tall ag tires and makes a very top heavy load on the trailers deck. Trailer has around 9620-9680 lbs on the axles depending on implements on the tractor.
Actual scaled hitch load on the trucks rear axle is 1120 lbs and raises the trucks front 1 3/8".....rear drops 1 7/8".
I wouldn't be concerned with that small trailers 600-700 lb hitch weight without a WD hitch for just a 2 hr drive home.
