A Light Premium-Brand Gooseneck a Half-Ton Can Handle
Goosenecks have a reputation for needing a big truck, and this 2004 4-Star is the counter-example. The box is 14 feet, the empty weight is 3,300 lbs and the GVWR is 7,000 lbs, which puts a loaded two-horse rig comfortably within reach of a 1500-series pickup while still giving you the tracking and the turning circle that a gooseneck hitch provides.
4-Star sits at the upper end of the horse trailer market and the build shows it. The body is white painted aluminum with extruded sides, a construction that resists rust and stays straight through years of road exposure, and the graphics on this unit are fresh. Compared with a bumper pull of similar capacity it tows steadier at highway speed and tucks in tighter around a barn or a crowded show lot.
Ventilation was clearly thought through. Head-side windows drop down behind screens, so air reaches the horses and the insects stay outside, bus windows run the hip side, roof vents sit above each stall, and an electric fan on the hip-side wall moves air when the trailer is parked in the sun. Storage is flexible too: the rear tack is collapsible and the saddle tree is removable, so you can open the space up when you need it, and the front dressing room keeps tack dry.

Measure your horses against the numbers before anything else. Seven feet of interior height and a 14 ft box suit average-sized stock and sport horses well, but a 17-hand warmblood wants the taller trailers in this category, and slant stalls are less forgiving of a long body than a straight load. If your pair fits, the payoff is a rig that is markedly easier to tow and to park than a bigger trailer.
The other pre-purchase checks are the usual ones for a used gooseneck: floor condition, tire age, brake function and the hitch itself, plus confirmation that your truck bed carries a properly installed ball rated for the loaded weight. With 7,000 lbs of GVWR the loaded figure stays modest, which is exactly why this trailer pairs well with a half-ton rather than demanding a one-ton.
