Without doing an in-depth analysis, it sounds like you will be rather close to payload but within it (check door sticker, and weigh the vehicle on a scale to make sure options haven't put you over).

So look at where the fresh water tanks are... if in front, add enough water to bring hitch weight up to a more ideal amount.
Nice looking offroad TT... while you're at it, will you buy me one, too? ;)
