Most newer trucks would easily tow that weight of trailer. I'd recommend going with a 2500 just so you'd have maximum stability and more than plenty of towing capacity but some of the newer 1500 model trucks would have the capacity as well.
You'd want to use a weight distribution system though for a bumper towed camper trailer that weighs that much.
The best weight distribution system for a trailer that has tongue weight of 685 lbs would be the Strait Line part # RP66084 which has a tongue weight range of 600-1,200 lbs and features the best sway control which is designed to fight sway before it starts.
