    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

I'm looking at the idea of buying a Telluride and one of my concerns is if it would be able to tow a horse trailer or not. The trailer would be about 2,000-2,400lbs and then the horse I own is around 1,000lbs, and with tack/equipment it would all be around 3,500lbs total. I do live in a somewhat hilly area, but not mountainous by any means nor would I tug a trailer through the mountains. Just curious to know how the Telluride would perform while towing all of that. And this wouldn't be an every day kind of thing either, it would be maybe 6/7 times a year max that I would need to be doing this kind of towing. Give me as much info as possible regarding this.
 
Well, the Telluride is rated for 5000lbs towing capacity so I think you should be okay.

You want to get an estimated tongue weight on the trailer also. And how many people and luggage will be in car also. Whatever the weight of additional luggage & people add to weight of trailer.
