Prime to tow a Uhaul trailer -

Here's one for you that almost got us in big trouble towing a U-haul trailer on a downgrade after freeway speeds: if you find yourself trying to stay in a narrow lane due to traffic for example, you can get into a fishtail dynamic where you keep overcorrecting thereby exacerbating the fishtailing. We did this and almost got on the edge of out of control (traffic was starting to give us a wide birth!) when the downgrade thankfully turned steadily left--this stopped the fishtailing, the sustained turn. Also, take it easy with acceleration that is a giant load on the transmission. Good Luck!
