[QUOTE="Kevin Palmer, post: 534865, member: 54263"] Well, many factors come to play. Load the trailer the correct way. Too much tongue weight and it will cause steering issues. To much tail weight and it will try to pick up your rear end. It needs to be loaded in such a way that the front half of the trailer will have 15 to 20 percent more weight than behind the trailer axle. Generally quality trailers will be able to tow at 75MPH. The biggest issue is the safety. Being able to stop or steer out of an emergency. Anytime you travel at 45 vs. 75 your going to be in better control. [/QUOTE]
