1/2 ton towing
Just purchased a 2020 Ram 1500 5.7 with the etourqe along with a 3.92 rear. Specs on the truck says it has a 1681lb payload and can tow up to 11500 lbs. Looking into purchasing a 2021 Grand Design 32...

I looked at the trailer specs and I think you'd be maxed out, even if you load lightly. You might want to take a look at a fifthwheel.
Huh???
Travel trailers should have a hitch weight of around 12-15% of the loaded trailer weight.
5th wheels should be around 20-25% of the loaded trailer weight.
So if you keep the truck pretty much empty other than passengers and 5er hitch (which can easily push 200lb), you can handle about 1000lb hitch weight, so your max loaded weight would be on the order of 4000-5000lb trailer.
A 5er drastically reduces the trailer, this truck can handle.
