My Tahoe is about at its limit so I do the drag and fly. Fly down one hill and drag up the next. Average speed about 68 by GPS. It always amuses me when I get to the ramp and see a diesel dually pulling these 2800 pound bass boats.

F-350 Dually, 42 Fountain Lightning. 90-100 Myrtle Beach to Savannah. Saw a little better than 100 at one point. It's ALL about the MYCO trailer. Those things are good for another 10-15 MPH w/ the same tow vehicle and boat behind it.

V-10 Dodge dually/25 Active Thunder being towed from Pompano to Philadelphia.......woke up on the ride home (wife driving) cleared my eyes and saw 95 mph on the speedo. Must have been the coffee!!!
Normally won't go over 70.......but then again haven't towed in 3 years!! (Hi-Dri)

98 Ram 5.9 magnum 4x4... 6000+ lb Baja on two axle Eagle... I've seen 90 on the flat sections of I-55 heading south towards LOTO. Then again, I've seen it go from 90 to 50 going up a hill on I-70 west of St. Louis... I think some of you know the hill I'm talking about....
Same truck, 14' Glastron on single axle tilt trailer (who knows who made it!!!)... might weigh 1000 lbs full of my fishing gear and lunch. Got pulled over for running 84 UPHILL on the way to Hardy Pond last summer. Truck doesn't know that boat is there... Cop let me go by the way... must have been a boater of fisherman.
