Smart thinking on your part to back up a bit, its gotta work for everyone in your family , you all need the comfort you deserve. Its everyone's 'get-a-way' time.
For me, buying used vehicles never worked out. This is what i do now :
Would leasing a new 1500 crew cab with a tow pack work for you ? You don't need any other special truck towing equipment (except a
WD hitch) to tow many brands of TT in your desired floorplan.
For $500/mo. you get a new truck every 3 yrs that you never have to repair out of pocket.
Its not too expensive to prepay extra miles if you need them.
Buy a good used TT in the floorplan that you and your DW would like. After all, if she is happy, you'll be happy.
You can then get the extra room in a larger TT with an island queen and bunks at the rear .
A used TT will be less expensive than laying out $40k cash plus for a new truck and you'll be gaining the payload, tow capacity and a more reliable vehicle for over the road towing with less worry about breakdowns on the road.
