For reference, last time I went down that crazy elevation drop in a Ranger, I just pushed the clutch in and easily held 85 while braking! Crazy that thing slowed you down so much.It's almost comical sometimes towing a big box trailer like that. There is so much aero drag that when you let off the gas the trailer stops YOU.
I've come down I-24 from Monteagle, TN towing a 6x12 enclosed and held between 55 and 60 just coasting. Rarely needed the brakes as that big parachute of a trailer kept the speed in check.
I would rather drag a 6000 lb boat instead of an empty box trailer on road trips. That aero KILLS mileage.
