Heaviest 5er without a dually?

What do u think is appx the heaviest trailer I can buy but still be able to safely travel across continental US using a single axle f250 or 2500 series diesel, vintage 2014-2016 model tow vehicle. Prob prefer short bed if possible but not sure if that is ok.

Here's why I ask, I am still working full time in downtown msa in an office building w a parking garage. I need the tow vehicle to be my daily driver when not traveling and a dually will not fit in the parking garage.

Also note, I am new to this, have towed many boats and trailers but have never owned or rv'd. Very comfortable towing but pointing this out as FYI.

Looked at a used 5er w a gvw of 14,000 lbs today. Have not looked st trucks so realize that needs to happen to drill down on tow capacity but for a rough start, wanted your expert assistance. Thank you

First off, a 14k GVW FW is =not= in the cards for a 3/4 T truck at all, IMO. Look for a 350/3500 SRW to tow it. As others have likely said, it's not what you can =tow=, it's what you can =carry=, as in payload. Do not believe any salesman that says a 3/4 T truck would tow a 14k FW without problems. I wish I'd known all this when I bought my truck and FW.
