What if I do get a 3 horse gooseneck. Would this truck work for towing it? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/DODGE-RAM-1-TON-5-9L-CUMMINS-TURBO-D...

I've just started looking at trucks so be kind! This is all new, that's why I'm asking so many questions here.

What would it take to tow a 4 horse head to head with NO dressing room. I found a nice Turnbow trailer configured that way.

I'm trying to get the VIN number from the owner (I've emailed asking for it) so I can contact Turnbow to get the exact weight.

Thank you!!

The 1 tons are fine for the trailer you are think about.  Depending on the pin weight you may be able to do it with a 3/4 ton as well. 

(Pin weight is how much weight the trailer puts on the truck)
