Re: Tow Vehicle
You're going to have a hard time finding a SRW truck that will safely tow that much weight. You need to have at least 10% of the total trailer weight, at a minimum, as tongue-weight, in order for the trailer to track properly, so you'll be looking at 1500 lbs minimum on the hitch. You could possibly mount that goose-neck hitch in the bed to carry that weight, but you're still faced with a Gross Combined Weight (GCW) of at least 21,000 lbs. which will be overloading most SRW-trucks.
Try "googling" Truck tow ratings or visit the Trailer Life Magazine website for more information on what each model can safely haul. I personally think you'll be safer and happier with a 1-ton dually, at least.
