Just my 2 cents .. We just came home from seven weeks on the road and I couldn't believe how many towable and fifth wheels with kids in the back seat of the truck past me when I was doing 65 MPS .
They hade to be doing 75 or 80 MPS because like others said they were out of view in no time.
I spent many years working accidents from an EMS point of view.
It's not how fast your truck can pull comfortably. Its how does it stops from with a RV behind you 75 or 80 MPH the higher speeds you drive the harder it is for you to stop.
You can tell me you wouldn't have trouble stopping and I will tell you that is not what I've witnessed over the years.
Amen brother! It ain't how fast you can go, but how fast you can stop under complete control!
I like to see how they stop with a ST tire blowing up in to hundreds of pieces due to excess heat due to excessive speed!
