I’ll tow dang near anything with dang near anything but don’t necessarily recommend the same for those with less experience.
Either rig you propose will handle a trailer that size from a power and drivetrain standpoint.
However, that is a long trailer for a short wheelbase vehicle. And generally suv rear suspensions are softer than pickups which will be somewhat of a hinderance imo in this case.
I’ve tugged our 32’ enclosed trailer up the mountain with an old Tahoe just because. It handles it ok, for me, But I understand that in an oh sh-t situation, the Tahoe would be a little out-gunned.
My preference would be a longer wheelbase pickup. Half ton is fine.
