My truck likes to cruise at 65 mph. At that speed I can set the cruise and it don't hunt for gears and purrs right along. A lot depends on the rig and your comfort level. But the truck will find it's sweet spot and want to stay there. Just make sure your tires and mechanics are up to snuff.

I tow between 55 and 65 depending on conditions, how far I'm going and how soon I want to get there.Never over 65.

55 mph, or the speed limit +5 mph, whichever is LESS.
Note if traffic gets real heavy, we might kick it up to 65 mph for short distances, like thru cities on interstates.

With all things being equal I try to keep the speed at or very close to 60. We pull a 30' TT, lite weight, and have found it is my best speed for cost and control. We have Goodyear ST tires and the shop that put them on recommended 60 at the best speed, so that is what I do.

I keep finding myself at 70+ so I try to set the cruse control to 60-65 to keep it down.
