I refuse to risk hauling #5,000 behind my one ton just because I don't feel that much weight is a good or safe idea for me to pull/haul, yet, it is rated for #5,000. #2,500 OR less? Piece of cake for the one ton......
Your Camry would in my estimation be at it's outer limits @ #2,000. I would seriously consider renting the truck to move whatever it is you're moving/hauling.

What kind of one ton can only handle 5000lbs? My 69 F250 was rated at about 6000, and with numerous mods (bigger, better brakes, frame mounted gooseneck hitch, electric brake controller, beefier springs, different rear gears, and 7.3l diesel engine) that rating has been bumped up to 10,000 on the hitch and I would be comfortable with 12,000 on the gooseneck but I haven't gone past 8k yet. I have hauled 9k on a trailer with 1500lbs in the bed, though. It wasn't unstable but you did know there was weight behind it.
