For years we pulled our 2 horse trailer with a 1978 Cadillac Coupe Deville.
It pulled great, the gas mileage was awful but we had cold air and a good radio
You can pull a horse trailer as soon as u get your drivers license, in maryland
Absolutely! Buy a BrenderUp. I have a BrenderUp horse trailer and pull it with my small 98 ford Explorer w/out a tour package. Hardly know the trailer is behind me.
You'll need a truck that's heavy enough to pull the trailer, equipped with a trailer ball hitch to attach the trailer. You also need to make sure the horse trailer has operating turn signal and brake lights.
no
yes it could
Probably not. Some people use smaller vehicles to pull Brenderup's, a lightweight trailer, but it makes me nervous. I recomend a full-sized pickup that is equipted with a tow package. You need substantial weight to safely pull your horse and trailer. The tow package gives you extra braking power and a heavier, secured undercarriage for a bumper-pull trailer. Make sure you have an expert check your hitch to make sure it is strong enough to pull something as heavy as a horse and trailer.
The horse itself weighs around 1500.... so most likely depending on your trailer.
I've pulled a 20,000lb trailer with my 2001 ford f250, so i cant see why not.
Yes, just stay in recommended towing capacity,
Yes, after the few required months (they can't have other people in the car with them for ___ months after receiving liscence) then a 16 year old can pull a horse trailer anywhere in the U.S. without a special liscence.
The size of the truck depends on the size of the trailer AND the number of horses in the trailer. I would suggest a 1500 (like a dodge or chevy) for anything up to a 4 horse trailerwith nothing more then a dressing room. If it has a large licing quarters ontop of the 4 horse, I would suggest something like a 2500 or larger. Anything larger then that you would probly want a large desiel or semi. Some people use an something comperable to an S10 to pull a single horse trailer with no dressing room, but it is better to pull with something larger so you do not risk an accident because the truck can not handle it. Hope this helps.
The towing capacity of the Ford Expedition depends in part on the year of the vehicle and how it is equipped. The typical Expedition can tow between 8,100 and 9,200 pounds, adequate to handle a 4-horse trailer.
