Minimum speeds are great until you get creamed by somebody that isn't expecting a rusted out S10 running 40in the middle lane in a 75 mph zone. Legal yes, smart no.
If on a level, one will have problems. On a grade, they should be to the right, an leo will or should pull them over. While driving over a mtn pass yesterday, many rigs where in the 25-35 mph relm. granted in right lane of 4.
There was a time when max hp in pickups was 200hp, even pulling 5-6K lbs, one was not doing the speed limit on 2-3% grades. This still occurs!
WHat I do not like nor will agree with the towing specs, is slow speeds are generally speaking, BELOW many legal limits. BUT< folks will say, meets tow specs! what a croc!
