Towing a horse trailer with TC
Who on this forum has towed a two-axle horse trailer with the TC on the truck? Did you use any kind of hitch extension to do it? thanks

Actually it’s in a 300” wheelbase Peterbilt 389 and a 51’ horse van. 14 is way too many for a gooseneck.
Hitching up closer to the truck axle rather than way out behind it, is in fact better.
A whole lot better. That’s why fifth wheels tow better than bumper pulls.
And that’s why nobody tows on an extension when their camper is off... because the physics are all wrong.
On a big dually with a 4-1/2 ton camper towing a light trailer, it’s fine.
But this is a Toyota with a camper pulling a horse trailer.
It matters a lot more in this case.
