There are a bunch of KJ guys towing camper trailers (the heavy Odessy, etc) across the Simpson right now. I tow a 6.5 metre powercat with mine (KJ CRD auto) and my camper and it does the job just fine. You will need one important mod - stick some Polyair bags inside your rear springs. The bags will allow you to control the level and firmness of the rear end, which allows good load balancing depending on towball weight. When not towing you can deflat the airbags to about 4psi and then they are just acting as bumpstops.
Re the turbo hoses, if it doesn't have a Provent stick one on (it will probably be too late to save the original hoses but you could stick a set of Samco hoses on and never worry about them again). Total cost:; Polyairs about $300 delivered (you can install yourself); Samco hoses $400, Provent $200.
