There is no way to get around the physics of making an RV lighter and lighter--more holes /thinner metals; laminates rather that solids; plastics rather than wood. And people keep buying the lighter units an pulling with smaller vehicles...
I myself have gone thru the upsizing game, and finally have what I need/want. However, it would not have worked for me to go big on the first jump-in, needed to gradually work my way thru sizes and trucks.
You'll get something figured out for the 1500---my niece's husband pulls a nice Passport with an F150 EcoBoost and it handles ok for him. I don't know the size/weight of the trailer, only that it works for them and 3 young girls.
