If you like messing with your vehicles go 3/4 ton, I towed a 14,000lb gooseneck with a 2013 2500HD and had to add helper springs, upgraded shocks and upgraded tires. My pin weight was over 3000lbs.
Gooseneck trailers have lower pin weight typically around 15%. 14k at 15% is only 2,100#, if your 3k is correct something was not loaded properly.
Many 5er's are 25% pin and that would be 3,500# pin weight.
Best bet if buying new is a RAM/AISIN 3500 LongBed with Factory Rear Air Ride. You will thank me!!!
