How can you have only 500-600 for hitch weight? Are you carrying something heavy in the bed? You will see a lot of people overweight from pulling 5er on a 4 door 150/1500 truck. Usually you would think that most bumper pulls would be fine for a recent truck.
The payload on even a too well equipped(crew,4x4,etc.) F150 would be 1500lbs+; probably similar for Dodge.
Hitch is limited to 500lbs without WDH but a lot more than that with. Both trailers are 6500lbs max fully loaded with 10-15% going to the hitch so at worse ~1000lbs. You will want a weight distributing hitch but it should be OK if there is nothing else in the trucks bed and not too many heavy people in it.
