I don't think the weight is making zippo difference. The ABS in theory uses the wheel position sensors to determine if a wheel is starting to lock up and then it momentarily releases the pressure on that wheel. It is intended to make it so us dummies driving the car can't lock up the wheels, so we, in theory have some steering control.
Personally I hate ABS, any way you slice it. I'd rather take my chances with the dummie behind the wheel. At least then, when I need to stop, I can do something about it. When the ABS goes into it's oscillation/confusion mode, which I've had it do on gravel roads, it makes it very tough to try to stop, when you could, because generally when I need to try to stop, I need to stop, far more than I need to steer into something.
I greatly prefer non-ABS and if I could figure out a way to turn it off, particularly on gravel roads, I would. However, in your circumstance, I thought it was supposed to help. Guess you wanted to stop, huh?
