Wev'e been hauling horses for quite a few years. Started out with a GMC
Sonoma (V6, towing package, HD suspension) and it just barely towed.
Next was a 91 Ford F 250 w/ 302 & 5speed. It towed OK, but we added a
1000 lb camper and it was past maxed out. The 88 F 250 HD w/ HO 351
& auto was next. It towed well with the camper, but was 10 years old
and broke down in the worst places. Finally saw the light and got a
97 F 250 HD 4X4 w/ Powerstroke Diesel. What a difference!!! It would tow
the house if I could figure a way to hook it up!!
The moral is: Get the best rig you can afford. It took us 4 trucks to finally
figure out bigger really is better.
