While US-71 along the western edge of Arkansas isn't bad at all, my personal preference is for US-259 through eastern Oklahoma. A little more hilly but scenic and decent road. Above all else, avoid the I-35 corridor and especially the Dallas-Ft Worth metrocomplex, not a good place to be in a car let alone towing. Again, personal preference.
We live just west of Ore City & take this route to our hideaway east of Fayettville. Also 155 crosses 271 which goes over lower hills but adds a little more time.
No problem going over Ouachitas , 35ft Jayco 5er& Chevy Duramax.
