Glenn is right, I rarely look at that light of a fiver. If GVW is 2500, even the Frontier might work, but you would be happier with a 1/2 ton.
Might want to be concerned about the towing stance with a newer 1/2 ton--they are higher in the bed area, and a short wheelbase fiver will be nose-high in tow and might have a clearance problem near the tailgate. Be sure and address this before a truck purchase with the dealer, being aware most salesman will say what they think you want to hear.
