Yep. Ain't that the truth. Forgot to mention I was pulling a boat (about 1300 lbs). Having the solid bushings in the LCA's, poly bushing in the torque arm, and the 3.73 gears made towing a breeze. And the with the Truetrack lsd, it pulled the boat out of the water no problem, even on wet pavement. I wouldn't back the Bird down
into the water (like with a PU truck), so I backed down the ramp until the back tires were within a foot of the water. The trailer is underwater, boat is almost floating off, but not quite. Then tied the transom off to the dock, and pulled the trailer out from under the boat. Worked like a charm. Car stays dry, boat gets wet.
Towing is not a regular occurrence, but its nice I can do it when the AWD is not available.
