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 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.
Never knew they built 5vers that small. Smallest you can get in Australia, is 24ft, most of the light 5vers here are 24 to 30ft long
