Towing Speed - Am I Going Too Slow?!
I'm currently camping on our first long trip in our trailer (previous two trips were only 5 - 10 mins away). We went from Littleton, CO up 285 to Buena Vista, CO, which is about 2.5 - 3 hrs towing....

Wait till you have to make a evasive move to avoid something in the rd or another vehicle and see how that burb handles. I would say in the past 15 yrs about 95% or more I have seen wheels up are tongue pulls.
And this tongue pull had to make one of those evasive moves last year when a fiver about plowed me over. While I was mad at the idiot driver, I had no problems.

So I stand by my opinion that a burb with a 30' TT is not the best situation.
And a 3/4 ton SRW with a 20' trailer is not the best situation either - they would be better off with a 1 ton dually.
His Burb is a 3/4 ton vehicle made to tow. I have towed with 3/4 ton pickups and my Yukon, and the Yukon (which is just a Burb) handles just as well. As long as he is in the specs and has his WDH dialed in, he's good to go. He also says he doesn't want to go 65 (most states it is illegal to tow over 55 anyway). I bet most of those wheels up you see are going way to fast for conditions.
