Estimate the loaded pin weight of the trailer at 20% of the trailers GVWR, not dry weight. As noted, watch your rear axle weight rating which will be reached long before the 14,000# trailer limit. A 14,000# 5er will have a loaded pin weight of about 2800#. The truck has to have sufficient capacity to carry that plus passengers, cargo in the truck as well as a hitch.
