I'd begin with checking the classifieds here. You might find one already all set for towing 4-down, which would save you approx. $3,000 in tow bar and base-plate expenses.

If yo don't find one advertised here, check other RVing forums.

Now if you intend to purchase a new vehicle for towing, this will identify those acceptable for towing: https://www.fmca.com/towing-guides-towing-four-wheels-down

HOWEVER! Do not depend on any online towing guide to be 100% accurate. The  specific vehicle owners manual(can be found online), under recreational towing is the final authority.

Give some thought to what you actually can tow. "A motorhome can tow anything smaller than itself" isn't true. Somewhere in your information is how much it can tow. That will be limited by how much the MH already weights (remember Gross Combined Vehicle Weight Rating) and the receiver limits.

Within those limits, what sort of vehicle do you want to tow? It will be our daily driver while you are on the road, but it can also do more. If you are not into off-road adventures, and are interested only in spending as little as possible on fuel, look at one of the small cars. If you are into extreme off-road adventures, set up a Jeep or similar vehicle for that. Most of us are somewhere between those two extremes. Our last towed was a 2015 Lincoln MKT. Good fuel economy and very comfortable ride, and a surprising ability to swallow quilts.
