What I never see brought up in these how fast to tow debates is this: There is some pretty big differences in TV-TT lashups out there.. Just read the many threads of those that never carry water, and always pack light, as their TV is,,, well marginal at best. I would submit that some of them shouldn't tow at 60 MPH, let alone 70-75.
These are of course the ones that must compromise, on the TV, because it is also their daily driver. OTOH, There are those that have very stout TVs.... It borders on silly to say that a SUV, that is barely within it's ratings (if it is) vs. a 1 ton dually crewcab, they has lots of reserve capacity should be held to the same speed standards, as many here seem to think..
Of course most of the barely able crowd actually think that there set ups are as good as it can possibly be... They don't know what they don't know.. Much like many of the ST proponent crowd, who having never used LTs, believe the marketing pushing the STs.
Totally agree. The guys I see towing fast are usually the ones with the 3-6" lift towing a 32'TT without WD. A$$ end of the truck is squatted down about 3" with the front lights shinning to the moon. Front of the TT is down 2"+ also. Big 35" tires on the truck.
I wish I had LT's in my size. My setup is so rock solid it's really frustrating when out by yourself that because of the ST's I'm stuck at 65mph. I would pull 70-75 all day out in the open if I had LT's.
