Best truck to tow 25' Airstream.

A 1/2 ton with standard payload because heavy payload means heavy suspension, which can beat your Airstream close to death. According to longtime Airstream repair shop owners Can-Am Andy and Inland Andy, as well as your Airstream Owners Manual.

Dare to be different - import a VW Amarok! 6,700 lb max trailer weight, 8 speed auto transmission and a turbo diesel engine. Super fuel mileage and everybody would stop by your campsite to see a VW pickup

If you get the Mercedes SPRINTER you can tow your 25' trailer and haul your car too......

I would like to have a new truck. My '05 Chevy Quadrasteer just turned over 100,000 miles. That's not really a problem because I know it will last for a long time yet.

No, I'm just in the mood for a new truck with all the latest gadgets and technology.

The problem is, I see nothing out there that is really any better suited to pull my AS than what I already have. (And they don't make what I have anymore)
