How fast do your run while towing?

  1. You better believe screen will "catch air". I lived here during Hurricane Charley, right at ground zero, where the eye came ashore. 165 mph winds will rip pool cages right off your house, even though they're mostly just screen. Now the insurance companies tell you to cut the screens if a hurricane is coming, screen is a lot easier and cheaper to replace than the entire structure.

    When the storm was over and I was outside surveying the damage, I discovered that there was a brown pool cage laying in my back yard. None of the houses in my neighborhood have brown cages, they're all white...:shocked:
  2. 20ft enclosed with 04 titan CC I do around 60-75 normaly like to keep it below 70.. when a few friends went down to FL from chicago.. We were doing around 70-80 with 5 bikes and futon in the trailer and my friends 11 f150 raptor and it avg 8.5-9mgp
  3. I try to keep it at 65 max with the popup trailer in tow, small wheels. however, I have checked the speedo and oops 80. Last weekend I thought I was gonna get a ticket coming back from Cal City. I noticed a cop sitting on the other side of the divided highway between mojave and rosamond, looked at my speedo and was doing 75. I slowed down to 60. watching him in my rear view, he pulled out, I further slowed to 55, he whipped a u turn in the center dirt area, and then stopped. wheew.

  4. That is the worst feeling in the world too.
  5. Yeah, when Palmer,jr jr and I went out to OW during the Holidays Johnny was sitting in the median with his radar out point AT ME and I was doing roughly 70 pulling my TH...kept looking back but he never pulled out...dropped it down to 65 the rest of the way. I think ift was because we were busy talking I wasn't paying attention to my speed. :naughty:

  6. Well I pull my 5th wheel and boat at or about 65 70 mph here in the great state of Nevada. But when I pull in Komifornia, I dial it back to 55 mph. Old Johnny Law would love nothing more that to pull over a rig with Nevada plates on it to gain some more cash for is economy. Why so slow some will ask. Well it will still be there when I get there. And if its not, I should have planned ahead better and gave myself more time.

  7. That's my theory about driving in general.......

    As for towing, many individuals that have posted (not necessarily on here :devil: ) about being able to pull their monstrous rig with a 1/2 ton ...:blah::blah: :blah:. NO consideration is made to the safety of those with them OR around them. Theres a reason 3/4 + trucks are necessary for pulling and not for the motor size. Braking is a HUGE factor and just being able to withstand the weight while under tow...the axle/hub part of it all. 5 lug vs 8. the gap between a 5 lug hub makes for a weak point. Again, there's a reason for added lugs..even weight displacement across the hub. :prof:
