This is probably one of the most debated topics on this forum. I've towed with both, and all I can say is when you get stuck the first time, you'll wish you had bought the 4x4.
And at that point ask yourself whether it would be worth $4,000 to have it vs whatever your other options are. And keep in mind that you will always burn more fuel, less weight capacity and have more maintenance with 4wd. One interesting thing is that you get tow hooks with 4wd but not with 2wd. It is as though the factory expects 4wd trucks to get stuck more often.
I would expect that with the lighter weight of the gas engine up front and the weight of the 5th wheel trailer on back you will never get stuck going the places that you describe.
