If it's the factory standard or optional receiver rated 12,500 pounds with a weight-distributing hitch, I wouldn't worry about it.
If you can get a scale report without the W/D hooked up so you can determine actual hitch weight, then you want your WD system adjusted so not more than about half the actual hitch weight is on the rear axle, and the other half is distributed to the front and trailer axles. If your hitch weight is more than about 12 percent of gross trailer weight, you need to rearrange the weight in the trailer to result is less hitch weight.
