You definitely have the towing capacity for the trailer you mentioned and we can help you with the best weight distribution and sway control based on the numbers you mentioned as well.

Based on your unloaded trailer tongue weight of 610 lbs the best weight distribution and sway control is the Strait Line part # RP66084 which has a tongue weight range of 600-1,200 lbs and features best sway control that fights to prevent sway before it starts.
