You have received a lot of posts to your question. 100% of those posts are telling you that you should not attempt to tow an FW toyhauler with a 1/2 ton truck. Could you do it? Probably, for a while before something breaks. Tires, axles, brakes, and suspension would be overloaded not to mention the stress on the drive train.
There are also potential legal ramifications should you have an accident. Whether or not the accident was your fault, an attorney would jump all over your liability caused by towing overloaded.
In short, I would never attempt it; it is not worth the risk. Buy a truck compatible with the toyhauler you want or buy an enclosed cargo trailer that you can tow with your 1500 until you can get the truck you need.
