The question is.

Towing High Speed can you stop auto,trailer,boat in time to still have anything left that is usable.

Some of you will never stopped with the speeds and tow equipment being used.

I pulled my 42 Sonic all the time and out on the hwy. I would run 75-85 at night 70-75 in the day if it was heavy traffic, I live on the water now and only have pulled the Nortech 50 from Fla.to here and around a bit but I had it 70-75 at night.

It wouldn't matter if I was going 50 the Nortech is so much more than my old truck (2000 F350 dually psd.) could handle if anything happened it was over. I am picking up an older F800 to tow it with now.

We can role 40,000 lb on the trailer 100+ MPH but we would need a mile to get it stoped. Or a few cars to ram into inorder to assest the slowing down prosses.
