I took a look and the max sticker on the car says the weight
I think you answered you own question when you called it a car.
I give you lots of credit for taking the people in the vehicle as part of your weight. You have done the calculations right to determine the camper weight. Unfortunately, as you have determined, you aren't going to find a camper that will fit your vehicle with the passenger load.
So it looks like either a trailer or heavier duty truck. If you do go with a heavier duty truck, recommend you skip the 3/4 ton and go for a 1 ton to maximize your payload. They cost about the same and ride about the same empty.
Good luck in your camping adventures.
