It could be that the reason information is limited is because 20 ft. 5th wheels may no longer manufactured. (Please note that I said COULD BE and MAY no longer). We owned an '08 Sportsmen 235RK, 6000 lb. empty, 7200 GVWR, 950 lb. hitch weight. This model is still available, but it sounds like you want/need something smaller.
We towed it with an F150 totally within its ratings, so if you find one smaller, a 1/2 ton truck will be plenty. Otherwise, follow the many posts regarding tow/payload (especially payload) ratings. Good luck with your search.
