And define highway speeds, since most boat trailing shouldn't be done at speeds exceeding 60 mph. My average highway speed while trailing is between 55 and 60 mph. If you are pulling a boat trailer at 70 or faster, you're going...too fast. If you can't safely tow at the speed limit you are obstructing traffic and unsafe. There's more than one lane on an interstate highway. Many highways have upper and lower speed limits. Fifty five to 60 is above the lower limit, and, in fact, is the speed at which many towed RVs travel, so most drivers are used to seeing trailers NOT moving along at 65 to 70 mph. There are plenty of RVs, towed and otherwise, not doing 65 to 70, either. I tow at 55 to maybe 62 mph. If you find yourself behind me and you don't like it, I suggest you pull into the passing lane and...pass. Or take some "calm down" pills. |
