Your right.
But an 8x5 with those height sides would easily be 4-5 cube.
So I'd say 2 ton is very achievable.

Oh yeah I forgot about the sides.

From memory my 10" electric brakes on nissan stud pattern hubs
and a solid 50" x 50" axle was about $700.
then you have the cost of a controller
This was a custom size to suit my camper.
I also fitted Orac off road leaf springs with greasable shackles
I take it your trailer will have slipper springs fitted??

If I had $2700 to spend on a trailer then option No2 would be my pic ,
then I would get a piece of alloy checker plate cut and cover in the draw bar.
Then you have a place to service your chain saws and set up a stove for a cuppa
