What kind of toy haulers offer that kind of GVWR? All the three axle ones I've seen are 18k, and around 13-14k empty.
I would definitely go for the 4500, or some other medium duty for that kind of weight. The all steel tires alone would be a huge benefit, and the much larger rear axle will support the weight better than what comes in a 1 ton truck. A trailer that heavy is going to get into a zone with the pin weight that may make a regular 1 ton DRW balk (not to mention the potential legal issues).
