Location: Florida | Lots of opinions here I bet. My opinion only. 18750 sounds a bit much for a SRW truck. Our horse trailer is a 7' Short wall, but with one more slant stall. Don't know exactly what it weighs, but it's considerably less than what I pull on our flatbed. We also pull a 35' 5th wheeler RV that also weighs more than the horse trailer. I have legally maxed truck/trailer weights with our flatbed which is about what you are estimating for your trailer. About 15 years ago I had to go to a DRW for stability / safety. The SRW was getting a bit squirrelly especially when braking. The DRW brought it under control, and gave an added measure of safety with the extra tires. As far as pulling 18750 - probably can. But keeping it under control - marginal at best - in my opinion. |

Location: Lander WY | We found out the trailer weighs about 12,200. So that leaves us with only 3,700 lbs- for horses, water, fuel,feed, food (no ramen allowed) and tack, in order remain under the trucks rating of 15,900. We would be a nervous wreck trying to be safe for the horses. |

Your truck will probably weigh in at 8500# or better empty? Figure that trailer weight with three horses and a weeks worth of STUFF... It adds up in a hurry!!! |

Location: Missouri | Sounds like too much trailer for your truck. Our trailer weights 12,000 pounds empty and we pull it with a GMC 4500. Loaded the pin weight is 5,500 pounds and my GCVW is close to 29,000 pounds. |

YES, sure would not do that unless you had dual wheels on the ground in the rear.... Mine is only an 8010 model 3 horse and I would not even try it with a single wheel truck. my trailer empty before anything is added is 9300lbs.
