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. Carla
Equalizer bars help immensely. I had a 2 horse home built, very heavy, but
did have one set of brakes put on the trailer. Two horses, with trailer brakes
and the equalizer were still too much for my Bronco as far as the freeway was
concerned. Not my "vehicle of preference but one of necessity". Replaced it with
my 3/4 ton Dodge Cummins. Love it. Beccy
