Unless the owners manual specifically forbids the use of a WDH, so long as you are not exceeding your rated capacities, there is no reason not to use one.

Check the weight sticker inside the driver door for your max payload. Tongue weight and the weight of the WDH needs to be subtracted from that payload number. What's left is for the weight of your passengers, dog, stuff, etc. You should not exceed the payload rating.

With a GVWR of 3700# I don't see any issues with what you want to do.

Have fun!
