[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get nervous about SUVs towing two horse trailers on the highway because they might be right at the towing capacity and  the driver may still approach a merge lane or whatever like he’s driving a car.

I know in Europe they have much lighter trailers but ours are not like that.

I’m sure a lot of people though know the vehicle and their trailer well and it’s all fine. [/quote]

You have to be careful. In theory a 2 horse trailer could be within the tow capacity of a SUV but honestly, it is probably way wiser and safer to put it behind one of the larger trucks on the market which can tow WAY more than even the biggest SUV. A 3 horse trailer or a gooseneck trailer definitely needs to be on a large truck. And you need to consider tack equipment, tack rooms, etc. which add a ton of weight. The other issue is people moving horses often need to be on rural roads and go up hills. Also the bigger pickup trucks have longer wheelbases and are more stable when you go over bumps, etc.

Also, whatver you drive, you really need to have a tow package installed if you're carrying a trailer.[/quote]
