    Quit My Job . . .

    I couldn't agree more. The company I just retired from had great managers...the startup company I worked at before had great technical managers and poor business decision managers. Always great to have good managers and, for the most part, have had good managers my entire engineering career. If...

    RWD Tow Vehicle Launch Issues?

    It's a SHORT WHEELBASE vehicle...that's why it's a horrible tow vehicle! The ridiculously low payload just adds to it's problems. Even a Chevy Tahoe is a horrible short wheelbased vehicle and it's 1 1/2 feet longer then the cherokee! The ones with the Turbo diesel are the worst of the worst...

    RWD Tow Vehicle Launch Issues?

    It moves tongue weight but not that much depending on the physics of axle location. More gets moved to the front axles of the tow vehicle but of course that doesn't help your payload issue.

    RWD Tow Vehicle Launch Issues?

    My friend has a V8 powered Grand Cherokee. Only 1000# of payload yet he keeps saying he has 7000# of towing capacity when he likely has over 1000# just for his tongue weight. Horrible towing vehicle low payload and short wheelbase. His wife asks me why they sway so much when trucks pass them...

    RWD Tow Vehicle Launch Issues?

    At my ramp I use in south lake tahoe, the tires of the trailer fall off the edge of the ramp a bit. If I didn't have my F-150 with 4WD and a electronic locking rear end, I would not be getting my boat out. My boat is 26' and combined weight of boat and trailer is around 6500# I will never not...
