Debating on a hitch for my SC 07

I am debating on an aftermarket hitch for my 2007 super cab. I have the 4.6L with the 3.55 rear end.

My pulling will be limited to a 24ft pontoon and a 22ft utility trailer. I have not intentions of hauliling over 6000lbs ever.

I am debating on the tounge weight capacity of the hitch? Should I get the reese hitch that has 600Lbs or 1000Lbs tounge weight?

do you know what the actual tongue weight is on the trailer? what are the costs for the two hitches? my guess is that they are fairly close in price, so if it was me i would just pay the extra amount and get the better hitch.

I would check around the salvage yards and see if I could find a factory hitch with all the plugs and install it to look factory. Just my 2 cents.
