Default towing speed

Besides the tire limitation on speed there are also state speed limits on towing trailers, many times these aren't posted. There are several threads that discuss this.
here is a link that is one example:

Here is a second link with more info

For us we tow between 55 and 62 mph and try to avoid the interstates
