Good afternoon. Although I'm not sure I understand your question if it is just a concern of GVWR of the trailer, generally speaking the higher the number the better for any given dry weight. Higher GVWR means better axles, brakes, frame, tires etc. Of course what your truck can pull is another subject and you should use realistic real world weights for those numbers. Use a highways scale when you can.

Remember, GVWR is a rating, not a weight. GVWR is ALWAYS your friend. It has nothing to do with how much the trailer weighs. GVWR is the max your trailer can be loaded to and still be safe. If you two 5000 pound dry trailers and one has a GVWR of 6000 pounds and the the other 8000 pounds the latter will be built with better components giving you better safety margins.
Happy trails and Happy camping.
Great post! Thank you, this helped to answer my question.
