when I tow a cat I try to get fast enough for the air to get in the tunnel and lift the boat and trailer up so that I am towing less weight:evilb: It all depends on what you are using for a tow vehicle and how big the boat is. Also it depends on your experience towing. Better to be a little slow and be safe. Also remember that most trailer tires are not made to go at high speed. Nothing like loosing a tire or bearing on your trailer at high speed. Remember even a 1500 pickup can pull a 51 outerlimits down the highway. The problem comes when you try to stop in a hurry for an emergency.

I have found that over 75 has a detrimental effect on my front trailer tires after about an hour. That is when they tend to let go. I have gone to 10 ply from the 6 ply Myco put on the trailer and slowed down some. Always check the EoH brakes when starting out BEFORE getting on the highway.

I tow about 65 with new truck if traffic is light, slower about a-holes. (Truck is a Nissan Titan pulling ~4k). Used to tow boat with Explorer and I ran about 55 then, but Explorer towed like crap so I went slow.

If everyone heeded your reply their chances of having problems would decrease dramatically. I second your motion.

Pretty easy to run 70+ speeds towing but I've found out it's a lot harder to stop em when pulling a trailer with surge brakes. Tires seem to like to throw tread as well once you hit that 70MPH+ range.
My tow mileage REALLY drops once I tow any over 65 so we try when possible to hang in that range.

thats some funny chit!!!!

I will use my 5th amendment rights at this time:D:D

55-62 MPH, Kick back in the right lane and enjoy the trip. Too much stress with trying to weave in out of traffic. If I am in the right lane passing then I will take it up to the speed limit and then back it down and get back in the right lane.

:D:D:D

60 - 65
