Every so often I would hit sand or loose material during a turn and the wheels would kick in the wrong direction. I'd have to hop out and manually straighten them before proceeding.

Also - if you put some ballast (or supplies) in the back of the towed vehicle it drops the rear end down some, also increasing the caster and improving the towing.

We used to tow the GTO with the toolbox and slicks in the trunk for that reason.
