If OP is going with a 2013 or 2014 Chevy 3500 DRW truck, D/A combo, that should be enough. The GVW of the 5er is only 14,500, and another 2,000# behind that. I would recommend to go with a dually, but a 13' or 14' model Chevy 3500 Dually would handle all that weight.
As far as making the truck "safer"? You'll be ok as far as GVWR and GCWR of the weight of truck and extra 2,000#, but it'll be up to your driving skills towing tandem as to how safe it'll be....picking what kind of hitch for 2,000# trailer may take a little research, but there are others that do it, they should be able to give you more input.
