Re: [RC] Trailering with automatic transmission - Barbara McCrary
My husband loves his diesel Dodge 3500 (I think it is)
with 6-speed stick shift. Torque, control, power and stability with a 20'
gooseneck aluminum stock trailer which we outfitted with LQs. The horses
loose load and we tie them to the side rail on the crown side of the road.
They automatically slant load...without the dividers.

It doesn't work lots of places. If it's steep enough, and long
enough, you WILL end up going too fast, or putting too much strain on your
engine, with most automatics -- even in 4WD (which helps to slow
you), and in the lowest setting "1" ... and yes, I know the newer
automatics work better, but I still prefer a standard. More
control.
