Agree on the deisel choice. Also agree 1 ton long bed is a good choice.

Key factor between SRW and DRw is payload. Get pin wgt of rig...add at least 200 - 400 lb..or good estimate of stuff you will add to rig...much more, if a generator. Washer, dryer also adds a lot of wgt.....thats whet you need to include in calc.

Get payload rating of truck and sutract the wgt of passengers, full tank of gas, and stuff. If remaining payload allows for pin wgt + known addl wgt (stuff in basement for example) on SWD then you are good. If not a dually is the answer.
