I made the mistake of buying a trailer (29 ft) too big for my Ford Expedition. I soon found myself at the car dealer buying a diesel pickup truck. It pulls effortlessly. An equal issue is the hitch. I had a Reese Dual Cam WD hitch with the Expedition. While it helped some at low speeds (under 45) It was the tail wagging the dog on the interstate at 55. I was petrified and didn't enjoy that trip at all. I bit the bullet and bought a Hensley Arrow. There is absolutely no sway, no unnerving noises and you can turn the trailer in a very tight turn. With your vehicle, I would be looking in the 20 foot range. If you want bigger, get a better tow vehicle or go with a motorhome. Bad experiences are a great teacher but they are expensive. I know.
Forgot to welcome you to the forum. This is the best place to learn. I was told but didn't listen when I was new. Hard headed. Most people here know what they are talking about. Years and years and miles and miles of experience.
