Just wanted to ask if anyone has had this experience. I picked up our 07 Interstate at Colonial Airstrem in NJ(great service btw) the other day. I drove from NH in our 07 Diesel Grand Cherokee (4400 #) and set it up to flat tow back thinking it would be no issue as it was under draw rating and only about 80# of T wt. I use a blue ox 10k tow bar, and brake buddy. It was a bit windy and am used to driving our 08 sprinter delivery van and my 40 foot diesel pusher as well as my ram pick up towing a race car trailer/air stream travel trailer in the wind so i was shocked when the tail started wgging the dog. The sprinter has firestones on it and the jeep had studded snows, any chance either of these would contribute to this? We made it six miles and we blew the heater core hose clamp, luckily the tech showed up with the fix or we would have started cannibalizing the jeep for clamp and coolant!
