Get a 3/4 ton gas. Checks all your boxes regarding good towing vehicle with the extra weight, but not the diesel costs. I am in the same boat as you, plan on buying a boat next year and wife wants a camper. I just bought a Titan XD gas.
Check out the video The Fast Lane Truck did with an F150 pulling 11k pounds. Yes, the engine can do it, but you don't want to pull that much weight behind a 5200 lb truck.
