[RC] [RC] Truck Buying Help - Deanna German

Val -

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.

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
