With that 5vr weight (Total and wet pin weight) you should be looking at a 2013 and newer 350/3500 dually as those will be the ones that have the payload capacity to carry the pin weight and the tow ratings & GCWR to tow that heavy 5vr

Trailers GVWR of 17,000# will exceed their mfg. magical max tow ratings and will exceed the truck/trailer GCWR of 23,000#
Need a newer vintage dually with a 19,000# tow rating and 29,000/30,000# GCWR
