You'll have to be sure how comfortable you are at hauling at the limit of your truck.
I'm not advocating it's necessarily for everyone or someone with no experience towing and hauling heavy. I'm comfortable with it because I've done more with less since Ive been a kid, and modern pickups are far better equipped and more capable than the old trucks I've had.
I can say that if I was going to be hauling it on a regular basis I'd step up to a dually for these heavy campers but since my camper sits in the shop 350 days a year and the truck is a daily driver, paid for, in great shape, set up well and doesn't require shelling out an additional $20-25k for the new car smell, I'm using it for now.
