We pull a 20 +5 gooseneck, tandem axle singles (4 tires on the trailer) fully loaded at 17,000 pounds with an 82 Dodge 250 with a 318 and 4 speed. We don't break any land speed records, but it gets the hay hauled. When my brother is around we tie on to the 06 Dodge Cummins 2500 6-speed, which handles it much nicer.

You will find it difficult to overload a tonner with a 25 foot or smaller trailer. If I were you, I'd look for a triple axle (singles) 30 footer if you want your tonner to live up to full potential, load-wise. Just don't expect to go 75 mph up the hills...
