I have both a new Suburban and a 1978 Chrysler New Yorker to pull my 77 31' Excella.  I love to use the Chrysler as the tow vehicle but I generally do it on the shorter trips as it gets 6mpg when towing the Airstream.  This gets a bit expensive, but not too bad.  The big problem is the travel range of 125-150 miles which can be very restrictive if you plan to do a lot of long distance traveling.  The new 1/2 ton Suburban does a wonderful job towing and gets 11-12 mpg with the Airstream for a range of approx 350 miles.
