I tow either a 2007 HHR or a 2011 Ford Ranger 4WD. Both automatic trannys. The motorhome is usually on cruise control at a bit over 60mph. I do that not because of any limitations that GM or Ford say....but any faster than that, my fuel gauge drops awful fast.
I would hazard a guess that the speed limit GM (or Ford) mention is, as said before, a CYA situation....or a LEGAL thing....so I wouldn't worry too much about it. What I WOULD worry about is if they told you to pull over every couple hundred miles and start the motor to get oil flowing in the tranny....that is needed or you'll replace the tranny...but it is a royal PITA..
And that is why, IMO if one is in the market for a toad...pick one that can be towed 4 down with NO limitations like starting the motor periodically. There's quite a few out there. Take your time and reserach.
Just FWIW.
