The WD hitch only increases the tongue weight rating of the hitch itself.. Meaning, you should see 2 ratings for the tongue weight of your hitch.
The lower one will be if you just plop a trailer on the hitch and go.. Usually around #500 or so for a basic class 3 hitch. But, it could also be up to #1000 tongue weight with the WD hitch applied.
But, if you are asking if a WD hitch "reduces" your trailers actual "tongue weight", then no...
If your TW is X amount, that's what it is..
Your "payload" should be listed on the "yellow" sticker on your drivers side door.
But, in the end, sounds like you have the trailer, and you have what you want to tow it with, so there you go..
Hitch it up, take it for a spin around the block and go from there..
You either hate it or are good with it..
Can't really tell you any more at this point. ;)
Good luck!
