Arctic Fox does not make a camper that is light enough for single rear wheel pickup trucks. They're all overweight. But if you like the Northwood Manufacturing quality, and can get buy without a slide, take a look at Northwood's Wolf Creek line of truck campers. They have a lower price point, but more importantly, also have a lower weight point, and work better on single rear wheel pickup trucks.
My truck is similar to yours, and I have no problems with a Wolf Creek 840 (dry weight 2000 lbs, wet weight 3000 lbs). The payload listed on my trucks door sticker is 3552 lbs. Here it is on my last trip.
Hmmm... This is interesting to me because I really liked the layout of the Wolf 850. I love the couch/bench dinette instead of the face-to-face. I would take out the table and have a pretty decent amount of room for kid to put on ski boots and just to get in and get out of the way!
I was shocked that the dealer said the quality is nowhere near AF. Are they not made in the same factory by the same people?! I don't really care if it's not as well insulated or doesn't have as many bells/whistles, so I'm hoping that was the only reason he said such a thing.
By the way, I like your truck!
