It's worth mentioning that 600 pounds of sand in the bed is a very different load than a trailer bouncing up and down, moving independently, with it's fulcrum far behind the truck, exerting way more leverage on the truck than a load carried in the bed (or on the tailgate, for that matter). I suspect that's why WD raises the carrying limit of the receiver. The truck in my sig has a cargo capacity of 2900 lbs. Does that mean I don't need WD with my ~800lb tongue weight TT? Of course not.
