Location: Vada, Georgia | Can you haul a loaded four horse? Yes. Can you haul it safely? Probably not. I would definitely recommend at least a 3/4 ton truck with a four horse trailer, regardless of what kind of trailer it is. |

I would definitely recommend at least a 3/4 ton truck with a four horse trailer, regardless of what kind of trailer it is. that is a rather broad statment. you are aware that the avalanche is avaliable as a 3/4 ton? 5000# for trailer 4 1000# horses is 9000#, several 1/2 tons are rated that high.

Location: sc | yeah the tranny is my biggest concern on this one, got the biggest tranny cooler i could squeeze in front of the radiator(made the bracket, bleeding knuckles and all). i really prefer a manual for towing. |
