Yeah, hitch weight won't be anywhere near 596 lbs. In fact, gross tongue weight will vary according to what you load into the trailer and where but as a general guide should be 13% to 14% of the trailer's gross weight, loaded & ready to camp. You haven't said whether anyone else would be in the Jeep at the time but even with you as just the driver it really doesn't have anywhere near enough payload capacity to be towing the size of trailer you have in mind.
