2) Look at lighter bunk houses. They exist with very similar layouts to what you are considering. Look at Passport as an example. Considerably lighter and available in very similar floor plans. Main difference is curtains in leiu of doors. While this is still going to leave you close to payload capacity, the overall reduction in TT weight pushing this truck around is significant.
With the size trailer you're looking at, you may not be interested because this would be too small, but we have the Camplite 21BHS, with a queen size bed, two bunks and a dinette/bed. Easily sleeps 5. It has a dry weight of 3500 pounds, GVWR of 5000. Tows great with my Ram 1500 (4.7L). You can see in the picture via my link below, the truck sits nice and level when attached to the camper. There is no weight distribution hitch. Otherwise, I agree, consider a larger truck.
