I did not mention the weight of the trailer because it's not really relevant in this case. The issue is one of pin weight vs payload. As I stated the dry pin weight is 2500 to 2800 pounds for what I am looking at. Trailer weight approx 14k
But it is still relevant. Is that 14k full or empty? What percentage is the pin weight.
With 14k, 2800lbs is likey at the low end of what the pin weight will be. If it's 25% or that is empty weight, the pin could easily push 3500lb.

Size and weight of the 5er have a huge relevance to this discussion.
Dry pin can change dramatically once loaded and towed, 20% to 25% is a very realistic pin percentage of loaded 5er weight.
