Ranger Raptor towing tounge weight question

[GrumpyOldPizza]

I am looking into buying an RV trailer, the the inTech Sol Dusk is a candidate for that. Lists 4,800lbs as GVWR, but 540 - 575lbs as the tongue weight. Ranger Raptor specs say max tongue weight is 550lbs. The tailer does not lend itself to be easily rebalanced. Anyway to Ford towing spec seems to imply that one should not use a weight distribution hitch. Tried to hook up a dry one, and it looks like that here:

So not that bad. Question is whether it's still safe to got that route, should I hit 575lbs, without WDH or suspension rework ?

totally fine. try to run as short of a 2" hitch as possible. I drilled a new pin hole in my 4"drop hitch and it now sits almost 2" closer to the bumper. this keeps the leverage to a minimum.
