Is this normal?

[Capt Ed]

When I make a sharp turn from stop, I get wheel hop. When I'm towing my 3450 lb. boat and trailer, it sounds like a wheel is dragging. Tahoe is a '23 Premier with 5.3 engine and 19,500 miles. I'm in 2 wheel high mode, tow mode with the boat.

Have you been to the dealer about this and if so did you go on a test drive with them and what were the results?

This may be a silly question, but are you sure that the truck is actually in 2 wheel drive mode, and not remaining in 4 wheel drive mode? I have not heard of wheel hop in 2 wheel drive mode.

I haven't been to the dealer but will schedule a visit soon. I'm fairly certain it's not stuck in 4 wheel drive. On one steep launch ramp I use, I have to put it in 4 wheel to pull out without slip.
