I also buy new, and I kept our new TT for 7 years before selling it. Did not make money off the deal, but I at least reached the point it wouldn't cost me anything to sell it. So if you buy new just know that's what you're looking at, 5-7 years before you can get out of it. You can make your determination of new vs used from there.
Taking a rental trip isn't a bad idea of you've never camped before. I think a lot of us (but certainly not everyone) probably start small. We camped a pop up for a few years before going to a hybrid, now onto a 37' TT. It's a process:) But some people buy a brand new trailer, take off down the road and then find out they absolutely hate camping. Then you're stuck.
I'd say start with what your vehicle can pull. Get the VIN and see if someone at a dealership can run it for you to get your specific specifications. If it is enough to pull a decent size trailer, then that will give you a place to start considering different models in that weight range.
