We purchased a 2020 FWD Telluride earlier last year with the intent to tow behind our Class A using our Tow Dolly (Stehl Tow Model: ST80TD). Due to limited travel last year we plan on making our first trip towing this week. I did a test tow behind my F350 and am not happy. Hoping I am just not doing something correctly.
I have use our tow dolly on several front wheel drive vehicles with no issue and am very familiar with how to properly load and secure the vehicle.
I pulled the Telluride on the dolly, put transmission in park, turned the car off. I DID NOT set the parking break. I aligned tie down wheel straps and secured. Do have issue with safety chains to deal with - no easy place to secure.
My issue is when pulling (even at very low speeds, I never even got out of our neighborhood) the front wheels of the car turn like the steering wheel isn't locked. The tow dolly has a pivot base to help with turns.
Is there another step I should doing to lock the front wheels?
I have done extensive search's and can't find anything that clearly outlines how to properly tow using a dolly or if the front wheels of the FWD Telluride truly lock when it park.
Thanks in advance for everyone's help !!!
