To be clear, my speeds posted while towing are in the wide open spaces of Nevada, Montana and Wyoming where there is little traffic and the posted limits are 75-80 mph other than for "trucks" which is generally 55 or 65 as per signage.
My truck is set up properly for towing and is below the CGVW rating and I have passed many Highway patrols both static and moving while going those speeds with nary a second look.
Just stating my facts, not defending anything or encouraging it in others.
I concur that many/most drivers are incompetent and dangerous to themselves and those around them.
I appreciate your post and did read it and have gained knowledge from it, thanks for sharing it.
