We have a 26SAB and tow with a 2008 Dodge 2500 CTD. Tows like a dream. No problem with crosswinds or being passed by semi's. Engine brake provides good slowing power for downhill runs and saves the brakes. While 5'er is rated for a 1/2T, and I've read of people with good success towing with a 1/2T, the 3/4 T provides much more stability, more payload and of course can't beat the diesel for efforless towing. I get between 12 and 14 MPG while towing which is probably about 20% better than with gas.
