This is such a ridiculous statement as to discredit anything you have or will post, including the balance of this post. There are plenty of MINIMUM speed limits and no US manufacturer is going to claim a towing capacity that could not maintain normal highway speeds and do it safely and reliably.
Well would disagree with you. On the TFL website they were towing 30,000lb trailers up a 7 % Gradient and they were crawling. Minium speed was very slow indeed. Too suggest this is an acceptable speed maybe it is in the US but not here
There is virtually no road in Australia with the elevation, length and grade of !70 thru the tunnel. Since there is nothing like this in Australia, whatever you deem an acceptable speed can't be compared to the test results.
It is not a subjective test. It is an ADR standard. Those speeds would not be cut the mustard
