The hitch I've towed those heavy loads with is a hand made one off unit that looks like something you'd find on a 1 ton truck that I found at the iPd garage sale. It attaches with the bolt holes that are there, but unlike some hitches uses all of them and I used very high grade bolts.
My second hitch is a mass produced one made by DrawTite, and is stamped with only a 3500lb rating, but has a 2" receiver. It looks pretty heavy duty (comparable to what you'd see on maybe a 1/2 ton truck), but doesn't really compare to the hand made one. I'm not sure if DrawTite sold these for 700s, or if it is a "universal" truck hitch that was adapted to the car, although it also uses all of the factory mount holes.
