If your target is 3500#, you most likely will be over that. Brochure dry weight is 3227#. The brochure weight is a figment of the marketing department’s mind. To be sure, I’d look at the sticker from the factory.
Best to look at gross weight, which seems to be 4760#.
I really like the roof and general layout. We looked at this model when it was called a Visa. I didn’t like putting that weight on a single axle, though. The tires will be maxed out before the suspension is.
With all that, your truck will be within specs. I pulled our camper all over the US with a Frontier 4 liter V6 with nary a problem. It weighed in at just shy of 5000# most of the time.
