Towing speed?

Summer time 60/65 and cooler weather 65/70. Most important is proper air pressure

Sane advice from some experienced people.

I now have a Ford diesel and a 2,600 pound hybrid trailer. It makes us light and fast, so I am tempted to put some speed rated tires on the trailer and maybe go 70 or a little more on the flats.

I like the 330 rule.

60 to 65. My tires have a q rating and can handle more but why bother. I set the cruise control when freeway driving and just try to relax. Not always possible in CA where everyone is in a hurry.

SPEED RECORD for Towing.

Duramax FTW!!!!!!

LBZ FTW!!!!!!!!!

60 to 65 mph is just fine on the Interstates.

yep, I am somewhat amused by folks who justify speeding by not wanting to "get their doors blown off". My doors are still intact after 20 years.

I usually tow on the highway right around 55-60 mph and take my time. Keep my tires within their speed rating also. I'm running power king load range D 15". So far over 3 yrs and no issues. They are overkill for my trailer weight, but i like the extra margin.

60+ or whatever it takes NOT to get runover.

The speed limit which is between 55 to 80 depending on which state I'm in. On average most states I tow in are 70 or 75 MPH.

Usually 60/65 that was in heat of summer. Leaving in the next couple of days in cooler weather and may go 65 or almost 70. I feel my tires when I stop for fuel to how warm they feel. Not scientific but you get a feel. Main thing is maintaining proper air pressure
