Ridecamp: Re: [RC] towing requirements

You need to calculate the weight of the trailer fully loaded, horses, water,
feed, etc. and the weight of the truck fully loaded as going to a ride and
add them together. That's the Gross Combined Vehicle Weight.  Each turk has
a maximum GCVW and you should not exceed this number. 

Four horse slant I would expect at least a 3/4 ton minimum and better a one
ton would do it.
