And again, you're pulling data from the owners manual, not for the MOPAR hitch that was designed for the car, which has the 3,800 lb rating.
There seems to be some disconnect here that you are not understanding. I have mentioned in a previous post, as have several other folks, that the manufacturers tow rating for the vehicle is the standard to go by. An example. My 2004 F-250 has a tow rating of 14,200 lbs. from Ford. I am considering installing a B&W turnover gooseneck hitch on the truck. The hitch that fits my Ford was designed specifically for it, matching existing frame holes for mounting, etc. Someone will correct me shortly if I am wrong, but I believe the hitch has a 20 or 25,000 lb. rating. My trucks tow rating is still what ford advertised it to be. It doesn't magically acquire a 20 to 25,000 lb. rating just by installing a hitch with said rating.
