What type of drivers license do you need to tow a 4 horse trailier?
Every state will have a different thing put on your drivers license. When you first get licensed, you will be class C in California for example. I think here in Oklahoma it is class D.

You can not drive any two motorized vehicle (motorcycle) unless you go through that training and proper motorcycle license. However you can use your normal vehicle driver’s license, class C, if it is a Trik or a quad, etc. (Anything that is four wheels on city roads).
