No, it was a legit question for me. And if you noticed, several people chimed in to say they tow that fast all the time and their rigs handled fine, with no blowouts resulting.
Rather than the "s" word, I prefer to think of myself as possessing towing confidence born out of experience, after a couple hundred thousand miles of trailer towing.
Bumpy, I agree with you about the difficulty of stopping a tractor trailer rig weighing anywhere from 20,000 lb to 80,000 lb. They need a lot of extra stopping distance. I don't think the same is true of a 4500 lb SUV with a 2500 lb (brake-equipped) trailer; a little bit of extra stopping distance is needed but not a lot.
