I pull a 2016 JKU behind our Navion.
Towing (4 down or flat) is just a bunch of math based on actual vehicle weights, GVWR, GCWR, and manufacturer's ratings and specs. Get the actual vehicles weighed loaded for travel. Then plug the numbers in to the formula and see if you're good to go.
GCWR - (loaded tow vehicle weight + loaded towed weight) = good to go, or overweight. The towed weight must be less than the tow vehicle's maximum hitch weight rating. Plug in the numbers and if the result isn't a negative number you're good to go.
So, any tow vehicle or motorhomem that has sufficient hitch weight capacity for your towed, and enough room under the GCWR of your chosen combo will do the job.
