As has been mentioned in your various posts about this same subject, there are multiple ratings to consider. If the hitch is designed for a maximum of 600 pounds, then that is the limit. If the available payload is 600 pounds, then that is your limit. Rear axle weights have ratings and so forth. The total combination of vehicle, hitch, and trailer must be evaluated. I would not put 800 pounds on a hitch rated for 600, some would. The weakest link is the weakest link. Period. If it is not covered in the owner's manual, and I bet it is, the hitch rating can be provided by the manufacturer.
