Hi,
Going to make a 2000+ miles round trip within 10 days time frame and wondering if there is any problem if I tow 75 mph provided road is flat, traffic is clear and normal wind condition.
65 mph sounded like a norm to most people and I like to hear from seasoned RVers.
Tow vehicle is Titan XD with Cummins 5.0 Turbo.
Thanks.
Tim
My personal experience based on over 40 years and close to 200,000mi towing TTs is that towing much beyond 60 to 65mph is just pushing things too far. I can't point to any facts to support that just my "GUT EXPERIENCE". In reality with stops, etc. what you in reality gain from towing that extra 15mph doesn't really get you that much more IMO.

10mph in a 10 hour driving day adds up to 100 miles. that's almost an hour and a half! and that is figuring in stops.
Read your sig line out loud to yourself and then imagine the average age and point in life of the average member of this forum and you'll realize why it may sound silly to them....
You (and I) have places to be and far busier lives than paw paw and me maw truckin from ArKansas to Casa Grande!
I wonder if I'll tell all the yungins when I get old that they're wasting their time driving faster and it don't take any longer to get there between overly active bladder stops and letting Fifi out of the kennel to take a tinkle and re-upping on the Metamucil?
Doubt it. I seem to be acquiring more horsepower as I age! LoL
