I believe the large wheel size makes a better gyroscope than 
passenger vehicle wheels; another reason to get 16" tires on your tow 
vehicle. (Reduced heating and wear-- on tires AND hubs-- are a couple 
more.) Also, truck suspensions are much stiffer than "luxury" rides 
most passenger vehicles provide. ("Passenger vehicle" DOES include 
pickups, since pickups aren't really designed to carry loads. 
Marketing experts have determined that people would rather LOOK 
capable than actually BE capable: Thus, the average SUV, and 
specifically, the luxury SUV.)
