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.

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.

Chadsalt, come on, it's a Chevy. Of course it can't pull it!

JUST KIDDIN! Guess we'll wait for the OP's follow up.

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.
