There are a few roads in this country where it's legal to drive 75 MPH towing a trailer. Recently we took a trip that took us thru Nevada, Arizona and Utah. I was taken by surprise when the 18 wheelers were blowing past me doing 70 to 75 MPH. I found myself tempted to try it; however I decided not to, because the outside temperature was in the 90's and a blowout would have spoiled my whole day. California has a 55 MPH max towing speed and we normally put the cruise control on 60, so setting it at 65 in Nevada and Arizona seemed plenty fast enough. The faster your traveling the longer it takes to stop in the event of an emergency.
