The towing capacity on that truck is enormous but that would be the load pulling straight back (horizontally) on the length of the frame. The camper has a large weight on the end hanging off of the frame and that leverage will find the vertical weakness in the frame as the force tries to rotate the rear downward. You can bend a paper straw in half but it is much harder to pull it apart horizontally from both ends.
