Re: [RC] 4Runners and horse trailers - Sky RanchI pull a 2 horse trailer, carrying 1 horse, with my '96 Ford Bronco (full sized). It has plenty of power to do it, but as Truman says, it's really not designed to do this task, because it also has a short wheel base. In a panic stop I'd be in huge trouble. Also, with too much speed I could easily lose control. The trailer doesn't have brakes, so I'm glad I have a manual transmission, it definitely helps a lot in slowing down. I drive very carefully and not too fast. The Bronco, although it's heavy and fairly wide vehicle, it is still not a good towing vehicle for a horse trailer. Certainly wouldn't be my tow vehicle if I still had my 3/4 ton Dodge, which I loved! Takes me a long time to get to rides, but I do get there. Please be extra careful if you tow with any short wheel base vehicle.
