Best Answer

If the horse trailer is a conventional towing trailer and is no more than about 10,000 pounds, go with the 2011 Ford F-150 with the 6.2L V8. The truck has a max tow rating of 11,300 pounds and max payload of 3,060 pounds. That's class-leading! And the truck has class-leading horsepower and torque at 411 horsepower and 434 pound feet of torque.

If the trailer is a 5th wheel or gooseneck and is rather heavy, go with a Super Duty. If the trailer is 10,000 to 12,500 pounds go with an F-350 Crew Cab SRW with the 6.7L Powerstroke Turbo Diesel B20 V8. Make sure that you have the FX4 OffRoad Package too for that kind of towing. That way if your rear wheels slip while towing on an uphill grade, you just pull the 4x4 Selection Knob and activate the Electronic Locking Differential. Make sure the truck has a 3:73 to 4:30 rear axle ration too.

If the trailer is even heavier, you should check into an F-450 Crew Cab DRW 4x4 with the FX4 Off Road Package. These trucks are rated to tow a maximum of 24,500 pounds. That is also class-leading. The truth is, Ford is the best truck.
