I'd like some clarity on the California towing speed limit

I just got to California yesterday and noticed the signs that said vehicles towing trailers are limited to 55 mph. I wasn't sure if that applied to me towing my toad (not a trailer) but I slowed down...

Most signs in the SF Bay area state All Vehicles when towing 55 MPH, or Trucks 3 axles or more 55 MPH.

The California DMV website says the maximum speed limit on most California highways is 65 mph. It also says that you may drive 70 mph where posted. I have found 70 MPH mostly about 20 miles out of a large metro areas and only on the Interstate. JMO
