Although a GMC driver, we faced the same situation with our 2020 Solitude. We first went with a 2019 GMC Denali Duramax, crew cab, short box, 4WD. Cargo capacity on that truck was 3499 lbs. I put the Timren bump stops to level the truck. We had plenty of torque and horsepower for towing and I am convinced we were overweight for cargo capacity when we had 4 adults in the truck. So, we traded for a 2021 GMC Denali, Duramax, crew cab, long bed 4WD, DRW. This truck has a payload of 5247 pounds. Now we have payload margin. Having now towed with both SRW and DRW, I will not go back to towing with a SRW truck. The added stability in width and length makes a huge difference. We just came across RT 9 in southern Vermont and the truck handled very well in steep and crooked terrain. The truck is our daily driver too and we have quickly learned that we back into parking spots and we don’t park close to store entrances.
Just my experience over about 5K towing miles so far in 2021.Bret King

Tow capacity is pretty much a meaningless marketing number, you'll hit rear axle or GCWR or GVWR long before you hit tow capacity.
Just know a 310 is probably gonna be very close to your limits on a 1 ton SRW, it will work but a dually is a safer option. FWIW Ive towed mine coast to coast and a lot more on a 1 ton SRW without ever a problem. If you go SRW keep good tires on it and the speed and weight down and it will be fine.

You might be wise to consider the F450 SRW, it'd handle it no problem. It also has a wider front axle, which gives it a tighter turning radius. I pivoted our 5th toyhauler years ago, it's nice to have that ability when you get into a tight spot. I would've gone F450 for our Imagine if it had been available w/o the diesel.
