Does Weight Capacity of Blue Ox Hitch Extender Refer to Trailer or Flat Towing

Question:

Item #BX88265 Hitch extender: The video states at the start that it is not for towing a trailer, then later references 1000 lb tongue weight and 10,000 trailer weight. Can I use this to tow my car hauler @ 8000 lbs?

That was a confusing way to phrase that and I apologize. The Blue Ox Hitch Extender for Tow Bars # BX88265 was designed for use with tow bars so the 10,000 lb towing capacity is in reference to how heavy of a vehicle it could flat tow.
