Here is a link to all 50 states maximum legal speed limit for towing a

I am sure no one in here has ever exceeded the maximum legal speed limit
on our Interstates, so we don't even need to consider the thought that
anyone would ever exceed the legal speed.

Here is the maximum speed limits for cars in the US.

You will notice that trucks in many states have a lower speed limit than
cars.

That is a useful link. Looks like I'm not legal :-) I'm towing a 19
1/2 bowrider that probably weighs with trailer 2500 or so in NC and I
don't have no stinkin brakes. Suppose there is a grandfather clause
on that law? Or did they expect everyone that didn't have brakes to
run out and get them? I'm using a toy-yoyo tundra so at least I'm way
below it's capacity.



Can I have the license plate on that trailer? I am sure you are the
ONLY person in NC who is not following that law.

I'm hoping that means the max weight where there must be brakes on the
'towing' vehicle! Hell, 1000 lbs is nothing! I wonder if that's a typo. My
new trailer won't have brakes, and I plan on moving to NC, so I hope it is!
