Hi Guys,

Have some questions. Rather new to this hauling stuff, at least at this level.



I just bought a bumper pull 3 horse trailer that weighs in at 4500# unladen. And has a GVWR of 10,000 which sounds about right when you add 3 horses and tack. I want to make sure that my truck is up to the task of pulling it.



I should add that the truck is my daily driver and that I take it off road every once and awhile. And while I am sure that it is not ideal, i am running mudder tires. I will try an upgrade once these are worn out.



What I would like to find out is:



I have a 2500 99 Sport 4X4 with the CTD, and the ATS Stage 4 transmission. I read somewhere that towing is not recommended with the sport. Why?



It comes with the Factory Hitch and 7 Pin, but I can not find out what class hitch it is. Any ideas?



The trailer came with equalizer bars, How difficult will it be add a sway stabilizer (for a 3 horse trailer this one has a large profile)



Any other suggestions would be appreciated.



Thanks for the help



Gary
