My daughter has a horse and really would like to pull it to shows. I already pull a small equipment trailer with my car, but I know that pulling horse trailers is different.
Here are my car's "specs":
Curb weight (lb.) 4295
Cargo volume (cu. ft.) [2] behind front/middle/rear seats 148.9/94.5/43.6
Towing capacity [3] (lb.), standard/maximum [4] 1500/3500
Seating capacity 8
Fuel tank (gal.) 20
3.5-liter DOHC 24-valve VVT-i V6
266 hp @ 6200 rpm
245 lb.-ft. @ 4700 rpm
5-speed electronically controlled automatic overdrive with intelligence (ECT-i)
Power-assisted ventilated Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), and 4-wheel disc brakes with Brake Assist [1]
I have no idea what any of this means, but I also know that you have to have a heavy enough vehicle, strong enough engine and brakes, etc. We would look at getting maybe a 1,000 lb trailer and putting two ~1200 lb horses in it. Is this possible at all? Or should I just tell her it's absolutetly impossible?
