I am on my first trip towing our 19-foot travel trailer this week and I experienced a pretty significant issue when attempting to use lane centering while towing. I have about 2,500 miles on my Platinum PB 4WD with max tow. While traveling on a two-lane highway at about 65 mph, I engaged the lane centering feature on the steering wheel to see how the truck and trailer behaved. Once engaged, it took only about 10 seconds for the truck to start into what I would describe as a speed wobble. Left unchecked, it felt like the condition was getting progressively worse to the point that I quickly disengaged lane centering and the truck and TT went back to normal. The experience was uncomfortable for me and freaked my wife out. Making things worse with her, I tried to put the lane centering on two more times to see if I could alter the outcome by changing my steering response but the result was the same. My TT tows like a dream normally and I have never had an issue with sway (WDH used). I had the adaptive cruise control on the first of the three trials. I have used lane centering without towing and it has worked seemingly as advertised (I am not a big fan as it ends up feeling like I am fighting the system after awhile).
Has anyone experienced similar results while towing, or have you used lane centering while towing without issue? Makes me think that using BlueCruise while towing is a long, long way off (if ever) because of the complexities involved.
