The hitch rating is 1800 lbs, so tongue weight isn't an issue. I wouldn't be too worried about giving it a shot on a ball. Might find you don'd need a WDH and certainly front axle unloading isn't going to be a concern with that CTD sitting up front.
That's most likely 1800lbs with a weight distribution setup. You're probably ok because most hitches are about half that without the weight distribution. That would be around 900lbs hitch weight.
