I just read the whole Uhaul flyer. It says repeatedly that I should not exceed 45 mph when towing even the heavy 6' x 12' dual-axle trailer.
It takes 7 hours to drive from Nashville to here doing 70 mph. I was thinking that 60-65 would be safe trailer speeds until I read that. Is that statement extreme over-caution, or should I really do 45 mph the whole way on the interstate, making the trip take 11 hours?
Heck, I've been passed by people towing trailers doing 85-90 mph.
