I usually don't post when folks ask towing questions as we have a full complement of weight experts but when I looked at the specs for the 24SABWE, the GVWR for that trailer is 7800 lbs. The hitch weight is listed at 610 lbs. That just doesn't sound possible to my untrained self.

You won't be able to hop on down to the truck scales, as suggested, since you don't own the trailer but the published hitch weight seems plain ol' silly to me and I would guess more like 1000 lbs or even a bit more. Look at some of the posts on this forum where folks HAVE gone down to the scales and pin weight is 15-20 percent of trailer weight and if you figure that to be a more meaningful number, say 1200-1500 lbs roughly, compare that to your truck payload on the magic door sticker. Add the suspected pin weight to the weight of passengers and stuff in the truck to get an idea if you are OK or not.
