None of us drive 25 mph...If the speed limit is 60 we run 50 mph and if its 70 we run 55-60 when towing..
In my area barely adequate but legal tow vehicles get along just fine..Its fairly level and not heavily populated..Most of the drivers are older farmers,truckers,mechanics-etc that keep their stuff up to snuff and know how to drive..They often only go to 5-6 pulls or shows per year and arent out there pounding the hiway..
Todays new 1/2 ton pickups are far superior to the 3/4 tons of not that many years ago..My brothers new F-150 is huge compared to an older F-250..You dont have to have a crew cab dually and a 14K gooseneck to haul an H Farmall a few times a year..
As far as I know not a single person in my area has been killed by someone using a 1/2 ton and a car trailer...Yes there are tons of variables but it still boils down to the guy behind the wheel and how he maintains his equipment..
I like to look over the haulers and tow vehicles at shows and pulls..Usually the most overloaded are the crew cab duallys with huge tandem axle trailers...I've seen them at tractor shows with 3 tractors on that had to weigh 18K or more plus the trailer weighed 8K.
