[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My HOA bans commercial vehicles and trucks. 
It’s in the registered documents with the county depository.

If it’s tagged as a truck (registerqtion) it’s banned.

Same for cargo vans. Any name on it or ladder rack it’s banned.

This keeps the community values up.

There is plenty of county streets for overnight parking.

Low class is low class. No thanks. I like the UMC rules. [/quote]

I use my pickup truck to haul my horse to dressage shows. Sorry to be so low class![/quote]

Real class would use a Range Rover or Bentayga. Sorry pleb.  :lol: [/quote]

Says the babbling idiot, who clearly knows less than nothing about towing anything besides her own fat ass.

RR's don't have the capability, torque, wheelbase, rear receiver, rear axle ratio, suspension, transmission, brakes and trailer brake-controller to tow a two-stall single or dual axle horse trailer. You NEED a pick-up, or at the very least, a full-size SUV with a live axle like a Tahoe or Sequoia. A horse trailer weighs about 1,500-2,000 lbs. Another 1,500-1,800 for two horses, and you're way past the 50% tow rating for a RR. A F150 would LAUGH at a load like that. A Superduty wouldn't even know it was back there. But a RR would be struggling mightily, and God help you if you try and make a panic stop.

You really oughta keep your mouth shut when it comes to things you know nothing about. [/quote]

I agree that PP has no idea what she’s talking about, but I would argue that your weights are a bit low. A lightweight 2-horse aluminum bumper pull without a dressing room is more like 2,500 lbs. empty. My Warmblood is almost 1,400 lbs. by himself, but the average horse is around 1,000 lbs. or so.

The pulling isn’t the limiting factor, it’s the stopping! I value my life and horses’ lives too much to haul with something as inadequate as a RR. Nice try, dumbass PP![/quote]
