Re: [A/S] Gas milage
That whole thing was a fiasco.... I bought a horse trailer at the Quarter
Horse Congress in Ohio.... an awesome thing sitting under the lights, shining
like a diamond.... stainless steel!!!
A three horse slant, with a huge dressing room.....
I had to buy the 454 3/4 ton burb to pull the beast....
It was a real head turner, kind of like an Airstream.......
The downside? With three of my big horses and full tack it weighed 11,000
pounds........
I have to tell you I pulled with it about 5 times and put it up for sale....
It wouldn't be so bad if there weren't live animals in it, but I was freaked
out.
It took over a year to sell it, lots of people wanted it but they would have
a 1/2 ton pickups and such... I couldn't, in good conscience, let them try to
pull their horses so dangerously.
Finally a guy with a one ton dually called..... a Ford with a PSD... moved
mobile homes for a living... phew... "come and get it."
