I pulled our camper with a 2008 Frontier Crew Cab 4x4. Our camper is 5000# ready to go. Tongue weight is right at 600#. The cargo rating on the Frontier was 1200#. We were maxed out on cargo, but a couple hundred pounds under axle ratings according to CAT scales.
Never had any problems with sway or keeping control. Plenty of power from the 4L V6. Never had any trouble going up or down mountains.
That said, I would not want to pull anything heavier or much longer.
The Silverado that replaced it is a better tow vehicle for sure.
