Diesel trucks for towing.
DRW are a PITA except for hauling large campers or big trailers.
If you think long bed is hard to park, try a long bed truck with four rear wheels. They are always for sale for a reason.

My son is towing a similar sized trailer. Maybe a bit smaller/lighter.
He started out towing with a Toyota Highlander. It worked, but struggled on long steep grades.
Last year I gave him my 2oo8 GMC crew cab, long bed, 4x4 gasser. It does much better, but he is jealous of my diesel.
This is not to say that I recommend the diesel. There is a lot of extra cost to step up from gas to diesel. Only you can justify that incremental cost of purchase and maintenance.

Thanks. I’m just trying to rap my head around DEF fluid and there doesn’t seem to be anything cheap about it!

I just acquired a 38' bumper tow that weighs about 9500 empty, with a hitch weight of they say 1100 lbs, but it feels a little heavier. The three vehicles I am looking at are a 2018 Sierra 3500 srw gasser for $66k CDN, a 2017 Sierra 3500 DRW gasser for 56k and a 2015 drw diesel for 61K-both used trucks have about 20k miles on them. I've never towed with a pu. Any recommendations?
Thanks
Go with the dually.
