Problem is that 4500lb number is the empty weight.
GVWR is around 7000lb, so expect a hitch weight of around 1000lb.
What's your trucks tow rating?
What's the trucks payload rating?
What's the trucks hitch rating?
You will be well over 5000lb, probably more like 6000lb and when you add the hitch weight plus passengers and gear in the truck, good chance you are over the truck's payload.
