Correct me if I am wrong, but I haven't seen anyone post a reply saying they have the exact same setup (3h gn w/ 1/2T truck) and are happy with it - we've seen alot of posts regarding SUV/bumper pull combo's, but no 1/2T truck and 3h gn combo's.

 

I have a 20ft featherlite 4horse trailer w/dressing room and a 2003 ram 1500.  I have had this truck for 3 years (got it new).  After 9,000 miles of not using it for towing I had brake problems that were fixed by the dealer twice.  I started checking on the internet and found that a lot of people with the 20" tires were having this same problem.  I got rid of the 20's and got 17's and started towing with it.  I have been towing my trailer with 3 horses (8200lbs on the scale and everything under limits) with no problems.  My truck came from the dealer with a tranny cooler, oil cooler, a HUGE radiator, brake controller connections and fuse spaces for trailer connections.  I have never had a problem starting or stoping.   I just pay attention and don't speed.

We have a 03 dodge 1/2 ton also. We pull our all alluminum 3 horse with small living quarters (week end package). Usually only haul 2 horses haven't had any problems.No problem stoping, like you we're careful. But would drive the same way if we had a bigger truck.
Happy Safe Trails
