Up until this year I towed a 2017 Cougar "xlite" 30RLI with a 2002 Ram 2500 Cummins. That truck lacked power for a "lite" RV. So, I upgraded the truck with a 2016 Ram 3500 with the HO Cummins and Aisin transmission. The truck has factory 5th wheel package. I went to that extent just in case we upgraded to a 5th wheel. And we did. A Solitude.
So, some on this forum advocate go big and others buy to meet immediate needs. Personally, I would go big again. You may look odd towing a single wheel TT with say a 3500/F350 with a diesel, but, you may after some time start looking at larger and heavier TT or 5th wheels.
My humble opinion.
