| My GMC 2500HD pick-up was recently totaled. It was my husband's daily driver, and I used it to pull my steel gooseneck 2-horse. We are trying to decide whether or not to replace the 2500. I had been wanting to down size my trailer anyway and wondered if my Chevy Tahoe could handle an aluminum 2-horse BP.The Tahoe is a 2002, 2-wheel drive, 5.7L Vortec engine, auto-ride suspension, factory installed tow package, GVWR 6,800.Trailer-wise, I would like an aluminum two-horse slant with stock sides and small dressing room. I would usually be hauling my small Arab (850#) to lessons or trail rides a few times a month. Occasionally, I would haul two horses, the other being about 1,000#.Here is an idea of the type of trailer I am looking for:http://www.horsetrailerworld.com/home/trailerdetail.asp?ID=238267So, can my Tahoe handle this? | |

Location: cedar rapids iowa | Your Tahoe should be able to easily handle a 2 horse bumber pull. I have had that set up in the past with no problems. | |

Location: MI. | How long is your Tahoe? My tahoe was short and although it towed my bumper pull just fine, the stability was not good. | |
