when you are at the factory in Casper, be sure to ask about the actual as-built weights and how much higher they are than the brochure weights. I would think that will have a big impact on what you need to tow it with.
25% of a 16000# trailer is 4000# pin weight--a lot even for a dually of any brand.

Sounds like you are focused on Teton--a great line. Keep us informed of what you find out at the factory.
