Hey all - Looking to see if anyone on here is towing a 4 horse head to head with a 2500 Truck.
Really need to upgrade our trailer and would prefer not to update the truck at the same time(Probably jump to a bigger truck in 2 yrs when this truck is paid off). Currently have a 2500 RAM with the Cummins Deisel.
I know more people are going to comment that this is pushing it but looking at the trucks specs it should technically be able to do the job.
You’ll be fine.
Might look into putting bags on the truck if it wants to squat. Before someone comments that bags don’t increase towing ability, no crap Sherlock- having a truck sitting deep makes it handle weird so the bags shift some of the weight back up front and realigns things.
Neighbor farm across the street pulls a 4H head to head with a F250. I’ve never heard them complain about the truck and they have had this combo for at least 4 years. They own a F450 as well for the 6H trailer.
Put airbags on it and pack light
We did this for quite a while until the older version of the truck you describe died… on its 3rd transmission…
Your results may vary depending on whether you’re hauling 4 horses of your own, sharing common items and keeping the total weight down. In our case, hauling horses belonging to 4 individuals meant a LOT more stuff and weight in the truck as well as the trailer and may have contributed to the problems we had with the truck. Just something to consider.
I also have a 2500 Ram (pretty sure @endlessclimb and I have similar beasties as you) and my future trailer will be a special order 2+2, essentially a H2H without the aisle between them. Adams makes it and it’s gorgeous, it’s basically a 2+1 but with a divider in the +1. Saves about 4’ in length.
That is exactly what we want - Don’t really need the +1 in the middle but do need a small tack room.
Well, this is what I want

Beautiful trailer, but the roof is Insulted for some reason, lol, wonder why?
Didn’t realize that an inanimate object could get its feelings hurt.
Thats a really nice setup, looks so easy to work off of, and converts to 2 box stalls. 
Ha didn’t even notice 
I know that’s not the first time I’ve seen that mistake here too!
