I could drive at 75 mph towing my 14K 5vr but choose to travel at 62-65 mph.
*Most trailer tires are only rated for 65 mph( mine at rated at 75 mph)
*Get the best mpg at 62 mph
*I'm in no hurry
*Figure that it will be a lot easier to emergency stop/maneuver at slower towing speed
*If on a roadway that has 3 or more lanes I don't travel in far right because the far right lane is beat up worse
*If truckers pass me...OK fine. I'm probably end up passing them come the next hill cause I maintain 62-65 mph up the hills\
Check the speed rating of your trailer tires!
