Airstream or Lance?
Greetings, Everyone! This is my very first post. I own a 2014 Toyota 4Runner that can tow 5,000 lbs. max. I want to buy a new Airstream 22-foot Sport or a Lance 23-foot 1985. Both weight about 3,8...

Airstreams certainly have a nice upscale look and feel to them. The lower and narrower Airstream will tow more easily, too. (Although I'd hate having to slide around that table for every meal; the Lance dinette seems more sensible to me.) But like others have pointed out, your ready-to-travel weight is likely to be 4500-4800 lb with quite possibly 550-650 lb hitch weight.
Definitely look at the Escape, sold from its factory in Chilliwack BC. The 21' Escape is just a bit over 3000 lb dry. Its molded fiberglass construction will be unaffected by sea salt, and the lack of seams means there are less places to eventually leak. Escape has a good reputation for quality and their trailers hold phenomenal resale value.
