If the rig you are using to tow is capable of the towing weight, yes. In the case of the SunSeeker the GVWR was 14.5K and GCWR was 22K. It was capable of towing 7.5K.

In the case of my Challenger, even though I have a 8K hitch I can only tow 4K. If necessary I could change the hitch to tow a trailer which weighted 3.5K but had a tongue weight of say 600 lbs. That is within my towing capacity and inside the hitch weight limit but outside the hitch tongue weight limit.
