The trailer in question has a dry weight close to 14000 lbs. A 20 percent hitch weight is 2800 lbs.
The trailer has a gvwr close to 17000 lbs = around 3500 lb pin weight at 20 percent.
After loading the trailer may weigh in the 15.5k lb range = a 3100 lb pin weight at 20 percent.
Now add a 200 lb hitch and another 100 lbs of stuff in the bed plus a percent of people and stuff in the cab = maybe 400-500 lbs. Now add the 3100 lb pin weight = 3600 lbs which is a conservative estimate.
One ton SRW trucks have 7000 lb to Fords 7230 lb RAWR. These trucks rear axle can weigh in the 3300-3400 lb range before loading This leaves around 3800 lbs for a max payload in the bed.
Ford/GM and Ram with those high gvwr numbers have up to 4400 lb payloads...however this is a gvwr based payload and has to be spread over FAWR/RAWR.
A one ton SRW will be at max RAWR numbers at 20 percent pin weights. If the trailers hitch weight gets closer to 25 percent it will be over loaded on the RAWR.
I would recommend a one ton DRW with a trailer that size. These trucks can carry up to 7000 lbs in the bed depending on selections and have 20k-30k lb tow ratings.
A 450/4500 isn't needed for that trailer unless you just gotta'
have one.
