Looking for a 7' LQ 3 horse all aluminum trailer. Should my 2006 Ford F250 have any trouble pulling it?

I have no experience in this area, but I'm planning on pulling a 3H with 8ft LQ with my 3/4 ton Chevy.... I do have airbags on the rear end which should help with the weight.  I had a friend who bought a 4H with 11ft LQ and he said it was too much for his 3/4 ton to handle safely.  He felt my truck was sufficient for what I'm wanting to buy :)

Good Luck!!

Oh no! Now I have been reading about hitch extenders!! My truck has a short bed. It does have the longer wheel base. Shoud I get a hitch extender? The trailer I am looking at has a tapered nose.

I pull a 10' LQ C&C with my F-250 and with three large horses in it and it handles just fine. 

I doubt you need the air bags.  Granted, it does squat the truck some, but not enough to really make a difference.  If you search on past topics for air bags, you will find most all the information you need including prices. 

I pull a 3 horse 7' LQ Aluminum Exiss with my 2005 F-250 Diesel and I was wondering if anyone responding to horssemom has the integrated brake controller that comes with the tow package?

I've been having such a lunging or surging problem that it's a pain to drive.

The mechanical operation of electric brakes is fairly simple, if power is available to the magnets, and the magnets are functional. Therefore, we will assume that mechanical problems such as

• brakes being out of adjustment
• worn shoes
• broken springs
• worn hub drums, etc.

The majority of problems that occur with electric brakes can be traced to an electrical system problem.

Is the problem in the trailer or tow vehicle electrical components?

Checking the trailer first... Unplug the trailer from the tow vehicle and use a 12 VDC battery with a fuse or circuit breaker, for short circuit protection, to apply full 12 VDC to the pins of the trailer connector connected to the wires going to the wheel magnets. As you connect the 12 VDC source, you should hear a notable click as the magnets are energized and pulled to the flat drum surface. Another method of testing brake magnet operation is to place a compass near the hubdrum.

 If, for example, you had brakes on both axles of a tandem trailer, you should go to each hub drum and assure that each brake cluster magnet is operating. If you could hear brake magnet activation on 1 axle and not the other, you may well have a bad wiring connection on the trailer wiring harness.

Conversely, you may hear 3 magnets click but not # 4. Closer inspection may indicate a bad magnet or a bad wire connection at that magnet.

 CAUTION: If a short circuit exists in the trailer electrical system, you could receive burns from melting electrical components if you do not use a fuse or circuit breaker for over current protection when connecting the test battery.

If all magnets click aggressively, the trailer electrical system should be in order, if the wire size is large enough to handle voltage drop. NOTE: Be sure that the brake magnet (-) negative wire is the same size as the positive (+) wire and be sure not to connect the negative (-) return wire to the brake backing plate or trailer frame.

 The negative must return thru the trailer plug and connect to the tow vehicle negative for optimum system performance. It is also essential that brakes be PARALLEL WIRED not series wired.
