That's no big deal!! No big rush, I am battling a MAJOR GP issue right now....I think.
The truck has heard that I am getting $4000 back from income tax and it's PISSED!!!

Sounds like my 6.9, starter issues, broken bolt on the vacuum pump and a head gasket in the span of 5 minutes on the day I bought my 2nd Cummins.

Best part is on the way home AFTER the no start, buying a test light that I had to take back because it didn't work when I was checking the GP's in the bedford canadian tire's parking lot and giving it a smash of ether to restart...... the back driver side brake decided to stick, pluming out smoke on my way home on the 102 highway. I pulled off the highway at the Aerotech exit.,..went to the top of the ramp to the stop sign...pissed I revved it up, dumped the clutch and spun the tires a little and shut it off...got out and backed the adjuster off and went to restart.....no go.
I fixed that with a few taps to the isolator/solenoid I got running my accessory fuse panel that controls the GP's, FSS and a couple other goodies...and then away she went.

I've got a couple flat 20 foot car trailer( no beaver tails ) . And I've hauled many vehicles on them backwards. I've never once had any issue with too little tongue weight.
Even empty a truck on the trailer backwards still has plenty of tongue weight.7.3 powerstrok

thats a heavy truck to trailer wheel base is 14 ft should use a triaxle 20 ft trailer can do it with a tandem 20 ft min just be sure the axles on the trailer favor the rear half of the truck if not you cant go over 40 mph without major swaying that( crew cab truck is heavy in the rearend) thats my opinion

You probably got your trailer figured out, but my 89 crewcab long box will fit on an 18' trailer with a 2' tail. If I put the front tires against the crash rail in the front the back tires would be just on the flat past the tail. I figured the bed of my trailer is right at 16' on the flat. I was overhanging both ends though. It pulled fine, but you wouldn't have wanted to turn too sharp. I also wouldn't load backwards. Only time I did that was the scariest trip I've ever done.
Good Luck!!
