Hydroplaning

[JJShort]

this was what I was thinking might be the case, since OP reported no loss of traction but a THUNK. so torque in either direction

I usually drive in one pedal mode, so this makes sense. Dare I try it with cruise control? (I'm sure I'll get more opportunities at that same spot and I will be careful..)

Just slow down. If you are hydroplaning you have lost directional and braking control of your vehicle. I'm all for testing to learn the vehicle and improve your driving but a public road probably isn't the place. That said, you know what the situation is and I don't. As you said, be careful.
