I just sold my 24 ft enclosed V-nose steel-frame trailer with all the heavy-duty options that would make it heavier and that trailer weighed 3450 pounds. Obviously a 26 or 28 ft would get close to 4K.
I would buy a diesel for that kind of load. Not just weight, but aero load as well. Even the excellent GM LSx gas motor is barely enough for a 8-9K tag with that kind of aero load.
Otherwise, you'd better be considering the 4.10 gear, and ONLY the 4.10 gear. With the 3.73 you'd never even see 6th on flat land.
