We own a 99 Suburban K1500 5.7 4wd. GVWR is 7200 and Max Towing is 6000. We are currently starting to trailer shop. 2 horses doesn't need to have a dressing room or anything fancy. The horses are saddlebreds so not very large.
After doing some reading I believe I need to find a trailer that weighs around 3000 empty. Then 2000 lbs of horse and some additional gear will keep me well under the 6k limit. I could also move the gear into the Suburban to save weight there while still keeping under the GCVW.
I am finding it quite hard to find weights on trailers, most only list the axle capacities.
