Welcome OP. Generally the heavier and more expensive, the better the quality.
Since you are new to campers, don't get dissuaded by the weight cops on here.
Like "8500lb tow cap has little to do with how big of trailer you can pull...blah blah blah"
If you follow the most conservative on here, you will be towing a pop up ultralight and think you're on the brink of being overloaded.
I'd suggest some real world experience from folks, in person, towing similar size trailers.
Here, you'll get sucked down the " weigh every can of beans and pair of socks you load" and then the members will argue that you're doing it wrong.
8500 lb tow cap = mid grade 1/2 ton
Most trailers of 8000lb gross weight are in the range of your truck.
