I think you should pass and get a 1 ton truck. A truck with 8800 lbs of GVWR that already weighs over 7,000 lbs empty is not the ideal for carrying a TC.
GVWR on that truck is 9,200.
For an 8' camper it looks like a great truck. If you ever plan to upgrade to a heavier camper I'd look for a 3500 SRW or dually.
I don't know whose 8' camper you're hauling but mine is almost 3,000 lbs.
Yours must have a giant helium balloon attached to it or something.
