Can't imagine a Ford diesel with a light hitch must be really old.
I tow with 1100# tongue weight and 1200# torsion bars no problem other than lowering the tire pressure on the rear tires as they will burn off center tread after 15,00 miles because of lesser weight.
If you're towing a trailer, the rear tires should be carrying more weight.

Weight distributing is sending more to the front.
