Is 70 the age to stop towing

Good morning. I would like to say that driving skills have to do with how good your health is and not so much as age. I am seventy-seven years old and still able to handle the big rig. We have a thirty-eight foot Montana and tow with a 2016 F250. I have my wife grade me on every trip on a scale of 1-10. 1 being the worse and 10 being the best. At the end of the day I ask her to tell me how I have done. When it gets to a 5 I will quit.

I have friends younger than me that have lost their ability to drive safely pulling the camper, It's sad to see them struggle and not want to give it up but the wife and I had a sit down talk with one of our friends and as much as it hurt to tell him it was time to give it up we felt we needed to be honest. Regardless when I hit seventy-eight I think it will be time to sell the camper and the truck and say it was a long haul and we enjoyed every minute of it.
