2001 4 Star 2 Horse Bumper Pull Slant Load with Extruded Aluminum Sides

Description

A Premium-Brand Slant Load That Aged Well

4 Star has spent decades at the expensive end of the horse trailer catalogue, and the reason shows up in the details on this 2001 two horse bumper pull slant load. Extruded aluminum sides are a heavier-gauge, more rigid construction than the sheet-and-post approach used further down the market, and they are a large part of why a trailer from this era still presents in nice shape rather than looking tired. Rubber-lined walls back that up inside, softening knocks and cutting the noise that travels through a metal box.

A slant load puts horses at an angle to the direction of travel, which many owners find helps them brace naturally through braking and turns, and it makes efficient use of the 14 ft. length. Brand-new tires are already fitted, which is one fewer thing to sort out in the first month.

Airflow Where You Want It

Ventilation clearly mattered to whoever specified this trailer. Drop-down windows on the head side put air directly across the horses, sliding windows on the hip side and in the rear doors let you tune the cross-flow to the weather rather than accepting one fixed setting, and roof vents pull the hot air up and out. Interior lights make early-morning loading and after-dark unloading straightforward.

Tack and Dressing Space

The fixed rear tack is properly equipped with two saddle racks, two brush boxes and bridle hooks, so both horses’ gear has a place and stays out of the horse compartment. Up front, the dressing room adds further bridle hooks and a camper door for easy access, giving you somewhere dry to change and store rugs and feed.

The numbers to work with here are the 4,530 lb empty weight and the 8,045 lb GVWR, which leaves about 3,500 lbs for horses, tack and feed. Two average riding horses plus gear fit within that, but two big warmbloods will be closer to the line than the figures suggest at first glance, so weigh rather than estimate. Make sure your truck and receiver are rated for the full 8,045 lbs and that you have a 2-5/16 in. ball to match the hitch. On arrival, have a trailer shop check the floor, the brakes and the bearings, and load a horse in the stall configuration before you commit to a long trip so you know it suits your animals.
