Hi list,

Over the years I have pulled a lot of trailers, with many different 
rigs. I used too make several trips  a year to and from Alaska, hauling 
horses.


I would not use anything less than a 1 ton dually, full 8 foot bed. In 
fact I would not ride in your little pick-up pulling a horse trailer.  I 
have seen too many accidents.  And I have had my share of blowouts, and 
with a dually you have a better chance of staying on the road.  It might 
be over kill, but how much are the horses worth to you.??
And  Lisa makes a good point, stopping!!! What ever you use, buy the 
best brake controller there is and keep it adjusted. Also, buy the best 
tires.


Everybody has their favorite vehicle.  Mine is a Dodge diesel 1 ton, 
dually, full 8 foot bed, with an exhaust brake.


In Ca. you have to have  a commercial license to pull a trailer over 
10,000 lbs. Some, other states are requiring it also.  I was talking to 
a CHP officer the other day, about the license, he did not know about 
the requirement for a cdl.  But, he did say that he will ticket any 
small vehicle pulling a large trailer . He was very much in favor of 
dually type vehicles used as tow vehicles.


That's my 2 cents worth.
Regards,
Jerry Friz, Anderson, Ca.
