Amen to that, and to the benefits of trailer brakes! The 130" wheelbase on my Dakota club cab combined with it's relatively low CG makes it extremely stable; with the "handling package" that includes front and rear sway bars and wide low profile tires, it feels like it's glued to the road when towing! Basic physics says that tall SUV's with a short wheelbase, high CG, tall 75 series tires, and soft "car-like" suspensions are much less stable than pickups with stiffer springs and most of the weight down low in the frame. I've seen guys tow a 23 with a Jeep Wrangler that I'm sure could pull it up any ramp, but it wouldn't be my first choice for a tow vehicle!
