What is the total weight of one of those?

It kind of looks like the heavy end is over the wheels in that picture, is that right? If so the end on the pickup would be probably 25% of the total weight, check your hitch and insert and make sure the weight is below or at what it is rated for.

I personally wouldn't worry about going over the hitch and inserts weight rating a bit ( maybe 25 % or so ) since it is a one time short distance slow speed tow, not as much dynamic energy shifting around that way.
