You asked about a tow rig, but I have to tell you that a 32 foot trailer is, in my opinion, way to big to take on any trip. Maneuvering into fuel stops, many campgrounds will be a challenge. Forget getting into any national park and many state parks.
In choosing a tow vehicle, look at the trailer's gross vehicle weight rating. The tow vehicle should be rated to tow 120% of that figure.
I appreciate the input, but I'm a little puzzled by your answer. To see a shorter 5th wheel other than the half-ton towables is pretty rare on dealer lots throughout Indiana and Northern Kentucky from what I've seen. Fact is most lots were full of larger rigs but we felt we were gravitating to the smaller ones.
You never mentioned 5th wheel in your original post, so I graviated to a tow behind trailer.
