Hi - I bought a 19CSK vintage last summer and a GMC Acadia with a 5000lb towing capacity to tow it. Despite working the numbers and getting advice from others who said it be fine, it turned out to be highly stressful on the vehicle and me! Perhaps the variable is the definition of “fine”. Anyway, I decided to admit the error and traded the Acadia for a mid sized truck with a 7000 lb capacity last month. The camper is SO much easier to tow and much less stress all around. I can’t tell you what’s best for you and YOUR stress tolerance but that has been my newby experience.
