Towing speed on grade and common sense
I have read a lot on this forum about how fast you can or can't go up a grade with a trailer. That is great in theory or on an empty road. But the one common sense thing i have never recalled...

I am not in a race with anyone at anytime on any road. I drive mostly flat roads and my biggest problem is the big rigs that want to run against thier governors reguardless of anyone else. They hold up traffic more than any RV that I have encountered. Most RV's are not running with the cars.
Agree 100%, not racing anyone at anytime, anywhere....If speed limit is 70, I'm normally running 62-65 without holding anyone up (get my best mpg at those speeds),...Other than that I'll run posted speed limit. Truck is bone stock and tows my 16,050# (loaded), 5er quite easily through the mountains of NC, SC, TN, VA and WV....all a person could ask for, and do it without pushing my truck any where near it's limits. All this equates to using common sense whether towing on a grade or in flat land.
