Is 70 the age to stop towing
I think maybe if you drive a motorhome at 70 you are safe, but pulling anything behind it is not safe.

Has more to do with overall health than age. If your reactions are still good, mind sharp, and vision decent I would say continue on.
Absolutely.
You may know that your reaction time is slower, but knowing that means that you can do things to compensate for it. IMHO it's prudent to drive a little more slowly and most of all leave more space between you and the vehicle in front.
My significant other is almost 70, and I wouldn't hesitate to drive to Alaska with him. He hates city driving, and I do most of that. He is my "spotter" for lane changes.
AARP offers classes for older drivers.
