I wouldn't do it. There are hidden black boxes on these new vehicles that would record the extra weight. If you took the vehicle in for warranty work, these black boxes would give them information to void your warranty. I would get those additional 600 miles on the odometer first.
Wow. :R
I wonder how a 'black box' could be engineered to tell how much weight was being towed? The computer 'might' document when t/h is engaged, but I doubt even that.
The OP has to make up his own mind. For me, I'd probably do it and drive as gently as possible.
Well, I'd actually probably find some excuse to drive a few hundred miles. There has to be something a few hundred miles away from you that you've always wanted to see or do -- sounds like a perfect opportunity!
Good luck!
