Default Towing Speed

Even though we haven't received our new TM yet, we don't expect to tow over the CA towing speed limit of 55 (used to own a boat). Can't see any downside and lots of upsides all mentioned in prior threads (safety, mileage, tire wear, etc.)

Since we're never in a hurry anyway, it just makes the most sense to us. Sure there's the occasional car/truck behind you even in the slow lane that gets impatient, but they'll just have to wait for a passing opportunity.

Since our new TM is nearly at the towing capacity of our Suburban, it also means we slow down further to 45 on any kind of grade and downshift on the downside to relieve wear on the brakes.
