I had exactly the same truck until the spring of last year, when I purchased my spiffy Sundowner "new material" prototype trailer . a Brenderup Lookalike that takes two, is made of Kevlar and weighs under 3,000 lbs. To my knowledge, few other two horse trailers would be as light. As it was, I towed a couple of times with it, and it was a little dicey at times .. then I investigated the legal requirements etc. and found the combination was just too close to the wire .. and after towing two horses through a very hilly section of NY state last fall, with my NEW 1999 Dodge Ram, with the 8 ft box for my cart -- I realized that my original truck would never have done it. Ditto for heavy snow/mud, etc and the hill leading to my farm in dead of winter (when I have to get out to do the Xmas/winter sleighing events with the Norwegian Embassy in Ottawa). I loved my Dakota Quad but I love my Dodge Ram more, not only for the bigger box and ability to take sleighs and carts along with me with no problem .. but the security that comes with knowing there is no longer that question mark about whether the trailer/truck combo will be up to the unexpected .. My advice, I'm afraid, is .. get a bigger truck.
