Does it always happen, no, but much better safe then sorry.

I've always pulled them but figured it was different with 4by4

I've put 12000 miles on my Blazer towing behind a 24 ft airstreem motorhome. I did build the towbar myself and made sure it was heavy duty. I also built a surge brake into the towbar. Transmision in park T case in nuetral and no problems. Towed like a dream, and its the fastes the blazer has ever been. Had up to 95 miles an hour on the I 5 around LA. Because of the weight of these trucks, if you don't have it balanced well on a trailer it will tow like ass.
