About
Truck Accessories
Horses and trucks just seem to go together. Our trucks are needed when we go pick up supplies at the feed store or to haul our horses in their trailers. We use the truck to haul off the manure or to haul in sand for the arena or shavings for the stalls. Horse owners either own a truck or wish they did. Trucks, dump trucks, truck accessories, truck hitches and more can be found in this area of InfoHorse.com. Horse owners need heavy duty equipment that is reliable for work with horses and that is the purpose of this area of the site.

Truck Accessories — Frequently Asked Questions
What truck do I need to safely haul a horse trailer?
The tow vehicle must be rated to handle the fully loaded weight of the trailer plus horses, gear, and water — not just the empty trailer. Important factors include towing capacity, the right hitch class, adequate braking, and stability for the trailer’s size. Checking the manufacturer’s towing and payload ratings, rather than assuming a large truck is enough, is the safe way to match truck to trailer.
What is the difference between hitch types for horse trailers?
Bumper-pull (tag-along) hitches are common for smaller trailers and attach at the rear of the truck, while gooseneck hitches mount in the truck bed and generally offer greater stability and capacity for larger trailers. The correct hitch and coupler must match both the trailer’s design and the truck’s rating. Using an undersized or mismatched hitch is a serious safety risk.
What truck accessories help with hauling horses?
Properly rated hitches and couplers are the foundation, and add-ons such as weight-distribution systems, brake controllers, and quality mirrors improve control and visibility while towing. The priority for any truck accessory used in hauling is that it is rated for the loads involved and installed correctly, since these components keep the rig stable and stoppable.
