Thoughts on towing with or without anti squat? This new wagon I just picked up is the new daily/shop truck.
rwd:

If the underlying question is indeed the one above, then you may wish to remember what Mother Benz calls the linkage: "Starting Torque Compensation". It was installed on cars that 1) had relatively low rate rear springs, and 2) had relatively high torque engines.

A 123 wagon w/SLS, with trailer tongue weight, and with tools and parts in the cargo area, will, via the SLS, have quite a high effective spring rate, and, compared to 5+ liter V8s, low starting torque. The Compensation is probably not necessary.
