OP doesn't need a 1 ton and he certainly doesn't need a diesel. I don't see what good it does to berate the guy over buying a Heavy Duty diesel for a 23' Airstream. It gets silly stupid around here sometimes.
Truth. Nothing wrong with a 3500, but buying one to tow a 6K gross trailer is like getting a 5500 to tow a 16K gross fiver when a 3500 SRW is the right tool for the job. An Airstream is a very expensive high end unit and the OP will likely keep it for a very long time. All the discussion of a 1500 diesel is moot, since nobody is selling one right now.
