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 ...

As always, the truth lies somewhere in the middle.
There is a truck camper for just about every truck out there. The bigger the truck the more choices you have, but there is one for most every truck.
Now the camper for your truck may not be as big as you want, or have all the amenities that you want. You have to decide where you want to compromise: Less camper, or more truck?
Somewhere I saw that your Titan has 2000lbs of payload capacity? Ok, remember that's for the camper, ALL your provisions, YOU, and anyone else in the truck. You can't just get a camper that says it weighs 2000lbs "dry" and expect good results with your truck. By the time all is said and done total load will be pushing 3000lbs, which is 50% over your truck's capacity, as well as the tire ratings.
