His speed hurt him for sure, as well as the torque weight (Or lack thereof), but I will admit I have been guilty of temporarily speeding up to get ahead of a semi etc. Either to see something, or to get over for an unexpected exit etc. I don't ever recall though in over 20 years of TT ownership going much over 70 MPH for an extended distance.
Couple things to add; I wonder how a properly adjusted integrated sway control hitch like equal-I-zer or the like would have done, and I wonder how the built in sway control feature on new trucks would have affected his situation? Doesn't give him license to go that fast obviously if the speed estimate mentioned is accurate. As sorry for him as I am, he kinda brought it on himself, and it's a good reminder/lesson for us.
