I pulled a two axle electric brake 7K GVW trailer with a 1700 series Ford tractor/loader between CO and MO behind a 15K GVW w/o incident except a blown tire. It was overloaded but did the job handily. The secret is not to even stop and the chicken coops if your rig looks like it's on the samller side. I've had problems at scales around the country with semi's and larger trucks but have never had one of them look up or come after me with a rig as I have described. Look and act innocent. If you pull in they will find something and it's more about $ than safety these days. Just my opinion and experience over many, many years.
Incidently the next sized trailer your likely to find will be a 14K GVW, not a 10K.
