2 years ago I researched the same issue. Here's what I came up with:
I have a 06 3/4 Dodge mega cab with he 5.9 Cummins. My truck is rated for about 21K with truck, trailer, passengers, and cargo. I went with a 20+5 deck over gooseneck with 14K capacity, 2 single wheel axles. Trailer weighs about 5000lbs empty, truck weighs about 7k. I'm at 12K of my 21K capacity and I haven't loaded the trailer yet. I have hauled 2 Farmall H's and definately didn't want any more. It handles comfortably with about 6k on it. At 6k payload + 5K trailer + 7K truck I'm now at 18,000lbs.
