Had an incident towing home today, 19 PW with 25k almost all towing on and off road and probably loaded a bit heavy. When it not towing it’s almost always in the dirt, it does a lot of pretty severe dirt.
Have read on here about some weird stuff happening while towing and loaded heavy regarding road imperfection and such. I had never noticed any so thought meh.
Lately, it seems like the truck loaded, towing or not takes longer to recover from encounters with seams, dips and stuff..almost feels like the truck undulates side to side for a bit afterward. Imperfection seems like more than it is in reality.
Today while towing the little TT and not loaded nearly as heavy as some times, a pretty bad dip on I15 coming home raised heck. The rear felt light and seemed to step a bit driver side. Cruise control cut off and anti lock/traction control began, yanking the wheel and woggling the truck back and forth. Stepped on the gas and there was none, the truck slowed itself to about 50 before I could drive again. It seemed violent and as out of control as can be, but my buddy behind me said that other than suddenly slowing down, it didn’t seem to amount to much. He said the brake lights were on when I didn’t hit them.
Anyway, who thinks that a rear track bar could take care of what is going on and that mine may be shot?
