Transmission slip while towing???

Towing a car on a trailer with my '03 F350 PSD on the interstate on a snowy day with Tow/Haul on. <O</O

Three different times the truck seemed to lose traction on the driver’s side rear tire, almost like I ran over an icy area, causing the truck to jerk and swerve to the left. Engine seemed to rev during the events.<O</O

Initially I thought there was something was wrong with the trailer, as if it was pulling back on the truck; however I found no problems there.<O</O

The problem has not reoccurred with interstate driving without a trailer.

Any ideas what may have caused this?

Are you sure you DIDN'T run over an icy area? Were you in 4 wheel? Even if you have a factory limited slip rear, that won't prevent wheel spin if you hit ice.
