Congratulations! Have you gone to see the trailer in person, or have you just decided on the model and looking to somewhere to buy?
4500 GVW would be absolutely fine if your tow max is 7k.
My 4Runner has max tow of 7300 lbs and our camper is 5k GVW. No problems with Reese WDH and anti-sway bar.
It's your call, but I wouldn't hesitate.
In reality, extra weight in TV helps keep it stable when towing longer trailers. Remember 2wd pickups spinning out in the snow due to lack of weight over the wheels?
A properly rated, installed, and configured WDH will make a HUGE difference in your towing experience.
