Normally I keep my opinions to myself but since I've researched this to death I'll put in my .02.
This is based on my 06 F350 dually 4x4.
Tow rating is 24,000 lbs. Truck payload is 4000 lbs. 27 ft triaxle gooseneck is just over 7000 lbs. GVWR of trailer is 21000 lbs. Subtract 7000 lbs from 21000 lbs and add 4000 lbs maximum tongue weight giving a maximum trailer payload of 18000 lbs if loaded correctly but it weighs more than my maximum tow rating by 1000 lbs.
With a 27ft tandem dually gooseneck the trailer weight goes up 1500 to 2000 lbs but the tongue weight also goes up because of the increased distance from the trailer axles to the truck. So with a tandem dually trailer the maximum payload drops to around 15000 lbs.
If you change the length of the trailer and the location of the axles on the trailer your #'s will change. A shorter trailer will have more useable capacity than a longer trailer and having the axles closer to the truck on longer trailers is also helpful for decreasing tongue weight. For some reason most trailer manufactures have the tandem dually axles to far back for a one ton truck.
