This is just my opinion, but it seems these trucks were designed for different applications than 70mph on a freeway. Imagine the possibilities of a blow out or a broken steering gear/tierod/driveshaft or whatever and the results of losing control of a vehicle like that in traffic at that speed. Maybe it's just my age talking, or it's my recollection of towing a '51 Ford Woodie behind a '46 1/2 ton Dodge pickup, going faster than I should have, and losing it on a corner...........Whatever you do, make sure you have good brakes and good tires.
