That makes sense, thanks. That also makes me wonder if the way the weight is distributed between the 2 cars makes any difference. That car was relatively full of junk as is, but once I got there I put my luggage, jack, tools, tires, extra parts, etc in the towed car to make more room in my car for my dog. I am wondering if I might have made things worse by adding more weight to that car instead of to the tow car? If nothing else I would think that having the weight in my car (over the tires doing the braking) would be better for braking performance than having that weight pushing on my car. Thanks
