Basic rule of thumb that we use.
Empty weight which was about 11,000# if I read right. We added a little over 1000# of stuff to ours between mods, junk and stuff so that brings us to around 12,000# loaded weight and a pin weight is about 20% of trailer weight so 2,400# pin weight.
Actually my pin weight is 22% (2,640# on a 12,000# trl). The 20% number will get you in the ball park.
If you have weighted your truck and know how much pin weight you can carry, you can just reverse the math to find the max 5er for your truck. You'll run out of cargo capacity before you run out of tow capacity.
Example if you can only carry 2,000# in your bed.
2,000# / 0.2 = 10,000# loaded trailer
This is just fuzzy math and you still need to verify on a scale but will give you a quick idea of what you are looking at.
