| Does anyone have an opinion on pulling a 4 horse bumper pull? We have a camper shell we use a lot otherwise we would get a gooseneck. We have a new Tundra with 5.7 V8 and a tow rating of 10,000 lbs, would anyone not feel comfortable pulling a full 4 horse with this vehicle? Thanks |

Location: sc | Anything larger than a 2H BP can get a real big attitude, real fast. If I had to make it work, I have no doubt I could..........but it would probably be a lot of work and would still annoy me to haul. |

Location: santa clara, ca | We have a 4H slant load BP that we also tow we a 1/4 ton pickup, altough we only load up to 3 horse since one of them is a draft, altough we only had it for less than 1 year with no trips greater than 50miles. Ours is all alluminum. so that helps keep the weight down, However with the camper and a loaded trailer you will probaly get close or pass the allowed weight of the truck+trailer...GVCW |

Location: western PA | We carried a 2300# camper and pulled a three horse BP trailer while using a SD with PS diesel. We didn't like it, we were blown about by trucks and wind, always felt top heavy, and not at all secure. Just the opposite with GN trailers. I wouldn't even consider a Tundra, camper and a four horse trailer!!!! Gard |

| It's only a topper that we don't want to be taking off and on all the time. |

Location: western PA | It's still a lot of trailer and load, with not a very large truck. |

| Most aluminum 4H BP trailers are 20' long. Not something I'd want behind a Tundra with 4 horses and their weight shifting around and causing sway. Actually, I wouldn't do a three either... Just my .02$ |
