Has I said earlier, launch shutter will take out your u-joints and carrier bearing and do it in very short order. So you will need to make a decision on what you are going to do to address this or look forward to drive train repairs to the tone of $500+.
The more you tow with it the sooner you will be repairing the truck.

I question this Don because as many have said, most newer trucks have this issue to some degree (the shudder) when heavy pin weights and towing hard from a standstill.
However almost nobody reports it becoming a problem.
I had the shudder on my gas V10, over 200,000K and original everything in drivetrain, not a single issue.
You know way more than me about trucks so I won't say your wrong, just that I question your statement.:W
