Went looking...getting a little closer
Well, this weekend we went and looked at/walk thru a bunch of campers. Taking in all the advice from this forum. Looked at some BFs, Wolf Creeks, Arctic Foxes, Northern Lite, Eagle Cap, and Adventur...

You are probably going to be overweight with the more involved floor plans. The next question is what are you going to do about it. You just bought a truck, so I'm assuming you are locked in on it.
You can either go to upgraded wheels and tires and make do, run over knowing you are over, or go with a lighter camper. If it was me, I'd go for a rather basic camper with a more open floor plan in a used model instead of upgrading the truck.
BTW, I carried the camper in my signature on a SRW. It's doable, but isn't quite a solid as a bigger truck with better brakes like my F450. There are more open floor plans available at least in older models. Look for one with a very long u-shaped or l-shaped dinette. S&S and Northern Lite used to make them. We ended up going with a double slide, but both of those companies and floor plans were close.
Here's a look at the old floor plan for Northern-Lite.
