Some of you guys complaining about towing speeds on here must not tow much out west. There are lots of stretches of highway out here where it's wide open with big sight lines and you might pass another car going the other direction every 10 minutes if that. Whole difference scenario than going 70 mph on a busy freeway with traffic.
As far as I'm concerned 75 on an empty highway out west is a whole lot safer than 65 on a busy interstate with traffic back east.
Bingo! 65 out west would take you half a week to get to the next town.
Support big oil! Drop the hammer rubber ducky!
I'm farther west than both of you. Some places on I5 if you are going 25-30 mph! trying to go 65 would kill a lot of folks, cause a mega wreck etc. In fact, I can not legally go more than 60 mph 50-60 miles north and south of me in I5. or 18 miles or so east on I90 from the middle of seattle!
I'll stick to no more than 60 wherever I drive with a trailer....maybe 65 if open as in eastern washington.....legally I can only go 60 if towing a trailer or over 10K gvwr/gcwr!
