Hesitant owner of 1/2 ton, need 3/4 ton?
I have that other thread going about sleeping under a camper shell topper and how practical it might be. I have 2008 Nissan Titan, which seems to have plenty of power but maybe the frame of a 1/2 ton ...

I see your truck rates at 2000 lb max payload. Stay within that mark or stray a little. I have a 1/2 ton 2 yr old truck and was not giving up on gas mileage (20 MPG) and my 2 yr old truck for a 1 ton truck. I bought a TC I thought I could live with part time. So far it has worked out great for me. Air bags and tires rated for the load are important. I am 400lbs over the max payload for my truck. I look at it like this, the truck camper isn't on there all the time. Five or six times a year, why buy something that gets 10 mpg 450 miles a week to work just to have a heavy truck. If you going to use the TC all the time I'd get a 1 ton.
