Roy,
To your point of tail wagging the dog. Back in the early 80's, a ratio I remember, grawr x 2 = max trailer wieght for a give chassis. That's worked pretty well for me, with an occasional x2-2.5.....
Then as they did then, spec the HP/torque, transmission, tire diam, then gear ratio based on final drive ratio of transmission,
For the driving you do!
