Location: Indiana | I would add "trailer brake" controller. We did this for several years, but not in the mountains and give yourself PLENTY of time to STOP-especially if you are hauling 2 |

Location: Rocky Mount N.C. | Don't know where you got those engine HP and TQ numbers but they are way off base... That's the numbers for a 2001 Lightning SVT. Should read... 2-valve SOHC, 5.4 liter, 260 hp and 350 lb·ft ratings for 1999 and later model years

Location: Arkansas | Did I miss on the specs a "trailer towing package" with transmission cooler etc? What gear ratio is the rear end? |

Can this truck safely tow this horse & trailer?
