Which Chevy Can Pull My Horse Trailer?
If you’ve ever worked with livestock, then you know that horses can be deceptively heavy. Horses are fast and graceful, but one trip with them in a trailer and you’ll realize that they’re quite a load! As such, we get a lot of shoppers who ask about which truck is right for their horse trailer here at our Augusta area Chevy dealer.
Considering how drastically weight can differ by breed--anywhere from 800 lbs to over a ton for a full grown horse--it’s important to think of the numbers for your particular scenario. Before you think of the truck, you need to think of the trailer; and before you think of the trailer, you need to think of the horse--or horses.
Towing a single horse for shows, for instance, is drastically different than towing multiple adult horses, feed, water, and gear. As such, your realistic towing capacity necessities could fall anywhere in a wide range.
The Choice That’s Right for You
A half-ton pickup like the 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 at our Augusta area showroom is a great place to start. A maximum towing capacity of up to 12,500 lbs is a strong foundation, and the 2019 Silverado 1500 climbs even higher. When you do the math and estimate how much you’ll typically be towing, you might be pleasantly surprised to find that this beastly half-ton is all you truly need.
If your numbers are a bit higher, though, then the Chevrolet heavy-duty lineup is the way to go. The 2018 Silverado 2500HD and Silverado 3500HD are capable of towing up to 18,100 or 23,300 lbs, respectively, when properly equipped. With this sort of power, the sky’s the limit when it comes to horse trailers.
To go over the numbers, specs, and all you can achieve with the keys to a Chevy truck in your pocket, be sure to contact Master Chevrolet by calling 803-893-1803. Our team is happy to help you pick the truck that fits your needs.
