ShrimpBurrito (Dave) has it right. All you can do now is upgrade your TV, or downgrade your trailer. Folks (even experienced trailer-pullers) often overlook the tongue weight restriction, instead focusing on the total weight of the trailer versus the "towing capacity" of the TV. The good engineers at Ford figured the strength of your hitch, with WDH, to be 450 lbs., and you'll not likely get that 3023 under that number. There will also be folks, even in this forum, who will tell you "I towed a _______ with a _______ (fill in the blanks) for years, and never had any problems." You might have the same experience with your Flex and 3023. But I would always be wondering what's going on with my TV frame and receiver and whether I'm just one good "bump" away from a catastrophe. Please let us know how you resolve this.
Dave, what are you doing in England?
