Too much trailer for a 2500?

I am in the process of ordering a new racecar trailer. The one I want is a cargomate with 11' feet of living quaters. The overall is 46 1/2' and the weight rating is #18800. With all it loaded it sholud not weigh more than #14000. It is tripple axle with brakes on all axles. I do plan on installing air bags. So my question is will my truck tow it all right or do i need a peterbuilt to tow this thing?
