The GCWR of your tow vehicle determines the size (weight) of your trailer and load. Most light trucks are rated at 17,500 lb. or under. Let's say:

Truck is 6,500 lb (all fluids and people and gear)
Tractor is 12,000 lb
Trailer is 3,500 lb

Do the math... you can't do it safely or legally. Of course, you didn't say what your tow vehicle is or what type of hitch you are planning on using but even with most 1 ton trucks you can't do it, period.
