Cargo in the Armada itself can not go over 1421 lbs.
Vehicle Weight: 6800

Extra: 100 (Tops)
Sorry, just noticed your payload of 1421lbs. From this you need to subtract 575, 50 and 100lbs leaving you 696lbs of payload left. That is the most that the hitch and trailer tongue weight can weigh and still stay within your Armadas GVWR(6800lbs)
If the WD hitch weighs 75lbs then you have 621lbs for the loaded tongue weight. Assuming the average 13% that would get you a trailer around 5000lbs LOADED weight.
Don't be discouraged as there are still plenty of trailers out there in that weight range that will meet your needs.
