You do know that, in general, people who tow 32-foot travel trailers tow them with big pick up trucks? Good luck.
I was like them for a period of time. I first towed with my 2500 Yukon XL with the 8.1. I then towed with a crew cab 2500HD (because the older 2 daughters were supposed to be done going places with us - but that was not true). So my last change was to a certified used 3500 Express. It was a year old, less than 20k miles, and under $25k. (You can get a 2016 today in the same scenario.)
A 3500 Express does not have the features that you can get in a truck - heated seats, heated steering wheel, etc., but it does allow you to take kids that do not need to sit next to each other, take bikes that do not get wet, dirty, or drag behind a trailer. It also makes for a great road-trip vehicle. I can say that we have had great family time in ours, and great winery road-trips with four couples as well.
My youngest also did most of her practice driving in our Express. In the non-extended form, it turns easy, and with the mirrors, is not difficult to park.
