Don't forget that your upper limit could be set by your toad.
Many people seem to forget that most manufactures set a limit on the towing speed of a vehicle (my Edge is 65 MPH).
That doesn't mean that I haven't exceeded it occasionally but I try to keep it down to short periods as there is probably a little fudge factor in the manufactures recommendation? I will not run at well above the speed limit to satisfy some morons who think they know best. Just because you speed is no reason for me to speed.
If I run at above 65 all day long, any damage to my toad is my own fault. Lots do it with no concerns or don't even realize there is a limit on towed speed and never have an issue, but that's their choice.
Stay safe and run at a speed you feel comfortable at, and if you get cocky, try an emergency stop (in a safe area) some time. Getting a few tons of motor-home to stop quickly is an eye-opener.
