Most all full size suv or pickups have adequate hitches and wiring worst case you’d need to add a brake controller.
Vans may have less chance of having that setup but depends.
Virtually any full size suv pickup or van in the last 20 years or longer will have the capability to pull a small 20’ ish trailer. Provided its in good mechanical shape if it’s older.
Agree SUV if you plan on keeping it after the trip. No one wants to daily drive a E350 cargo van around daily.
But the van will be the best bang for buck budget wise if you are only concerned about the trip and will sell it.
