Re: [RC] 4Runners and horse trailers - Barbara McCrary

I used to pull a 2-horse straight load trailer with my Chevy S-10. I began to realize that the tail was wagging the dog.  That's when I announced that I was selling it and buying something with a bit more heft.  I now have a Dodge Dakota with 5-speed stick shift, and IT is just barely adequate, but definitely better than the S-10.

As the wise people on ridecamp have said time and time again.....
"Its not what you can pull, its what you can STOP!"
Who cares if you can pull it. Can you stop it? Go pull once with your 4-runner or SUV. Then go pull that same trailer with a REAL truck designed to tow. Go out in traffic, hills, you name it and stop that trailer behind you. You will then make the right decision and never look back. You will realize how scary that SUV was to pull. Those are your "babies" back there and your life up in front. Do you really want to take that kind of big risk?
