Jake,
I'll throw in my .02. You can get a dual tandem gooseneck that has a GVW of over 20k lbs. While that is good if you need it, at least in SC that puts you in CDL territory, even if you are pulling it with a one ton. We had a nice conversation with a DOT enforcement officer one afternoon about ours. We have farm tags on our one ton so there was nothing he could legally say. Still spent about an hour getting all that straight. Moral of the story, we painted over the "10 ton" graphic on that trailer, and you might want to keep that in mind when you go trailer shopping.
