Have pulled an Airstream thousands of miles and can tell you that i actually forget its back there! That being said you can tend to pull it a little faster. Watch your tires and make an investment in some good ones. 10 plys. Try not to speed and make sure your hitch is matched up good and you will be just fine. I pull with a Cummins 6.7, 6 speed with the factory exhaust brake and love it. Pulled for years with an older Cummins and an auto. Mileage and torque are great. As long as your hitch and tires are good you shouldnt have any trouble. Always sweat the little details when it comes to those things and spend a little extra cash to get what is corrrect. Good luck!
