You should probably look into a steel/aluminum gravel bike; which is similar to a touring bike with wider tires.
Touring specific bikes have pretty much disappeared from most major brands and have evolved into the modern day gravel bikes. A loaded tourer could carry 75+lbs over the weight of the rider.
In a gravel bike you probably want one with disc brakes and 32 or 36 spokes.
