You are.
Chrysler set the max at 2k for ANY HITCH, however decided to allow 3,800 with the CHRYSLER DESIGNED HITCH and ONLY THE CHRYSLER DESIGNED HITCH.

Magnum R/T, when equipped with the Trailer Tow Group, can tow trailers up to 3,800 pounds.
Without the Trailer Tow Group, Magnum delivers up to 2,000 pounds of towing capacity when
powered by the 3.5- or 5.7-liter engine.

Magnum/Charger/300/ are the same platform. At the time, the OEM part number was 82209575AB and available as a dealer installed option on all vehicles.

It doesn't take a jump to surmise that the platform is capable of similar towing capabilities properly equipped.
I wouldn't break any land speed records with the set-up but the OP has taken the appropriate precautions and isn't exceeding the limits of the car.
