It doesn't much matter how rapidly you can accelerate. It does matter how fast you can stop.
I once made a near panic stop while towing. I am happy to report that it felt as if I was able to stop as fast towing as I could when not towing.
My worst fear is:
driving down a paved road
rounding a blind turn
that is off camber
discovering the paved surface is covered with dirt, mud, gravel
finding cars stopped due to an accident ahead
while a deer jumps in front of me
and a tire blows
If you prepare for the worst, you will be pleasantly surprised when it does not happen.
