Hey guys, wondering if you’d help me tap into the hive mind by sharing your opinion and expertise.
I review cars and trucks for a newspaper chain. We were off-roading in the Nevada desert this week with new Ram Power Wagon, an HD truck that can crawl up rock faces andl has a 10,000 lb tow rating.
The conversation over lunch turned to which truck brands the horse community favours, and why. I know I have certain things that I love in a towing rig (Ford’s back-up technology and camera hook up, Ram’s rear air suspension lowering to facilitate hookup and automatic load-levelling) and the Ram engineers said the horse owner market is one that every brand would dearly love to own.
Back when I was a racetrack groom, the trucks were beasts of burden, and comfort consisted of a bench seat with a horse blanket over it to cover the tears. Most of them now boast the level of comfort and technology once seen only in luxury sedans.
What’s your favourite? What do you wish they’d address?
