I am in the market for a LQ trailer. the one I am looking at is a 3 horse Kiefer with a 8 ft short wall. Do I have enough diesel horses to haul this trailer? Any suggestions appreciated!!

Like the last "Do I have enough truck for this trailer?" thread, the only way to know is if you have the loaded pin weight for said trailer. Power is not an issue with these current diesel engines, they can pull way more than most people will hook to. 

Pin weight is the issue.  Your 2500, like mine, can carry about 3000# pin weight on the rear axle before you overload the tires.
