Towing In Heavy Wind

[Draenor]

Sweet, I know who I'm calling in a hurricane to come pick me up.

No prob,as long as you buy the beer for the hurricane party

If you've got the load levelling bars, the wind won't bother you a whole bunch

We've got a stretch of road here in Alberta with severe wind warnings on it... There's always one or two loaded super-b's flopped on their sides in a year...

Those 2500 'burbs rock for towing I have done some serious miles in a '93 pulling new 32' yachts, and travel trailers.

With the right set up, you can tackle big wind. I have done it with my half ton in some of the worst

Right on Gary!

Yep,that was the first thing I got when I bought the trailer

It's amazingly stable even in heavy crosswinds.I'm very particular about distributing the weight correctly in the trailer,very important

There is just no comparison, when a WD hitch is set up properly, and you have your tow vehicle set up so that the front end is not light (meaning your ass ain't draggin') everything just comes together.

Idiots argue that WD hitches don't work. They don't know what they are doing.

So true,those who say the WD hitches don't work either don't have 'em set up correctly or have loaded the trailer with all the weight behind the axles...or even have all the weight in front of the axles.

I rented a flatbed trailer so we could bring Chris' '69 truck home when he bought it(barely running at the time)and the burb did great even without the WD hitch,BUT,that was a lot less weight and was only about twenty miles on a two lane blacktop road,another testament to the burb's towing ability

Even at low speeds there's a noticable difference on my truck... Not just the suspension sag, but at 30 MPH there's some some sway when I don't have the bars installed

My dads old 1/2 ton suburban was the exact same way... Heck, even my Blazer was good, just not to the same extent... That extra bit of heft over the back end is a huge difference
