I think the tongue weight would have to be less then 350lbs, maybe even towards 250lbs, as the target for this trailer was so people could tow it with small SUV's.

Back to the description on the Toyota sight, do you mean that there are Class IV receivers that can't take a WD hitch?

All class IV hitches are capable of receiving a WDH. Some class III's are not. So, with those weights, hook it up and enjoy the tow. I wouldn't use a WDH for a trailer that light.

Just beware, you will may get the urge to upgrade to a bigger trailer
