Default my 2007 v6 seems to drag in the back when driving. is this normal?

ok my 07 is running fine but my dad and i noticed that the back end seems to kind of drag in a sense when leaving a stop light. etc.. just curious if anyone else has noticed this on theres.. feel free to let me know..
was debating going to a local dealership and making up a story about trading mine in on a different oneto test drive one to see if it does the same
any ideas?

Take the bodies out of the trunk and drive it again. Seriously, it does not sound normal. Is the sound a scrape or thunk?

Default Draggin?

Will it coast freely in neutral?

Do you have traction control? If so, turn it off and see what it feels like.

I have a 2007 automatic and have never felt a drag at all.I agree check the parking brake or a bad caliper.

I usually get that when the traction control kicks in.

Check your panhard bar because somehow mine got bent far enough out of shape that it moved the rear end far enough to the right that the drive shaft was rubbing hard on the fiberglass case on the fuel tank. It would only rub at the beginning of first gear

thats the same effect you would feel with a bad rear axle bearing too, but you should be able to hear something and you should not have a bad bearing yet. you could jack up the rear end, put it in nuetral and spin the tires by hand and see if you feel one side dragging more than the other which might help isolate the problem side.
