55 to 62, usually. Occasionally on a long downhill, with a tailwind, when I'm not paying attention, we get up to 65 or so, but since most trailer tires are rated for 65 mph maximum, and we have some of those cheap Chinese tires, I don't want to push it! Saves gas to go slower too.

I try to stay at about 60 mph because of the max speed rating of the ST tires of 65 mph.

I set at 63 to 65 on the interstate, and let everyone leer at me as they blow by.

right around 67. thats where my X seems to perform the best. I`ve tried 60-62 but the truck just doesn`t care for that particular speed.

With a Jeep Liberty as a tow vehicle, you are very wise keeping your speed to 55 mph.

You should go as fast as what feels most comfortable to you, with two caveats:
1. Do not go so slow that you are creating a traffic hazard, if at all possible.
2. Do not exceed the posted speed limit. 65 is it for your tires anyway.

I agree with Wayne... a Jeep Liberty is a marginal TV.... keep it slow and safe

What ever the speed limit is
Set the cruise control and enjoy the ride
I pay a little more and have speed rated tires (less worry)

I set the cruise on 65mph interstate and whatever the speed limit is on the back roads or less for adverse conditions. I wish I had the patience to run 58~mph on the interstates. Wind resistance is so much less at that speed it seems to just ease a long effortlessly.
