The latest GM 2500 HD diesel can have 11,300 GVWR and 6,600 RAWR, so is a bit of a game changer in that class.
Not seeing actual truck figures, or trailer GVWRs, I am thinking a dry weight of 12K will be likely limit of truck capability.

It's really only a game changer on paper. That ballpark of RAWR has been common on 3/4 ton trucks for years, it's just the payload that's been artificially hampered by the 10k GVWR. My assumption on the newer GM trucks is you can still order them with a 10k lb GVWR for all the reasons one might want that configuration.
Can't really answer OP's question without more info, though.
