Exbioligist,

Just curious if you think 5 goats would be to much weight for a 1/2 ton truck with a short bed. If you average them out It’s around 1250 add 300 pounds for a rack that’s a quite a bit over what I would normally haul. I have a 3/4 ton truck now That I wanted to haul up the 1/2 ton with the goats so I have a dedicated goat hauler. I figured the 1/2 ton will have a little softer suspension and I can’t get a trailer up to where I need to unload the goats. Also I was planning on a cheaper 1/2 ton so I wouldn’t tear up my nicer truck. What do you think? Also do you see any problems getting the 5 goats to fit comfortably in a short bed truck? I could do an extended cab with the long bed but was wanting to do a full 4 door with a short bed. Just asking for ideas. Thank you
