[RC] [RC] Truck Buying Help - Deanna GermanVal - I tow a steel stock combo trailer (2H slant w/ dressing room) and towed 2 horses 6 hours with the destination being at the end of a hilly, hair-pinny drive. My vehicle is a 2002 F-150 with the same size engine. With one horse, it's a cinch. You didn't mention if this vehicle has the heavy-duty transmission, shocks, and brakes. I think those are very important. So are anti-lock brakes. I wouldn't rule this vehicle out. Deanna -------------------------------- Val wrote: Quick question for you all. My husband is looking at replacing our truck and found a used one. I'm not so sure this is a good deal or not...or whether it could safely haul a 2-horse bp horse trailer carrying 1-2 horses (approx under 1000lbs each). 1994 F-150 Flareside Supercab that was a stepside short bed. Has a 5.8L V-8 with tow package and 134K miles for approx $5K =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
