As a brand new owner of an AS, and having never towed before, I was so thrilled and impressed with
how easy our 25FB Safari was to tow! 
Before leaving to pick our new baby up, we watched this video on the towability of Airstreams
Airstream, Inc :: Why Buy? (or got to main page and click "why buy" on right). It gave us great confidence! Watch it, if you haven't already - you will NEVER want to tow SOB!
I had to keep looking in the rear view mirror to even know I was towing! It was amazing!!! What a thrill! No stress, just FUN!
We did buy a 3/4 ton truck to tow her with, mainly because we are inexperienced towers and wanted a vehicle with more than enough capability, but also because we (I!) have fulltiming dreams a few years down the road, and we will need a longer AS at that point. Since we bought new, I want this truck to last and not have to trade up from 1/2 to 3/4 ton when/if we get a longer AS. This truck is a Big Dog, eager to work and eager to play, and I love it!
The 3/4 ton was the advise and suggested way to go, given our circumstances, by quite a few kind peeps on this forum, and we are most grateful and very glad we followed it. Thanks!
