RV Hitch Capacity: Best Dumb Question

Is it possible or necessary to replace a Class 3 Hitch rated at 5,000# to one that is at least 6,000#s?

I asked the question because I noticed that Blue Ox has a Baseplate for a Navigator that weighs in at 5,800#.

Material Facts for my RV...

GCWR = 23,000#
GVWR = 18,000#
Actual / nominal or calculated GVWR =17,000#

Is there anyway possible that I may flat tow a 5,800# vehicle with this RV as long as I am 100% assured that GCWR never exceeds 23,000#?

Or do I have to make a modification to the hitch to increase rating 1,000# more to flat a Navigator ( if that is even possible?)
