I started that way with the new 5th wheel (our first 5th). But the shift point on my RAM is 66 if holding and mostly off the accelerator - 67-68 if more accelerator required to hold. Once it shifts I can drop down to 60 without tranny downshifting unless going up hill. But as @WStemple, usually behind a semi doing 65.

Totally depends on conditions first and foremost. I tow my latest GD 2022 Reflection 297RSTS at around 65mph. At that speed I feel comfortable and average about 9.7mpg. If I go to 70mph, mileage drops pretty significantly.

I run 58 on the expressways. I'm a right lane guy.
On the secondary roads if the limit is 55, I run 53.
Cruise control on whenever possible.Jay Leonard

At or slightly below the posted speed limit. Always in the right-hand lane.

Let me tell you from experience, the next time you're drafting a Semi and he loses a re-tread will be the last time you draft a semi, scares the heck out of ya !
Oh, and my speed is dependent on road conditions. Perfect road on the interstate, typically 68 - 70 mph. Crappy 2 lane road, 55-60.Last edited by Sportsdad60; 11-07-2022 at 05:07 AM.

Been there - done that - it went right over the top but didn't hit her (It was my wife driving her car with me right behind her). Luckily after going over the car it veered sharply left and into the median. I stay well back of trucks, and if I have to pass I do it as quickly as possible. Otherwise I travel 65 on interstates, 2 lanes depends on conditions, never over 60 unless I forget to put the cruise control on . I do have a lead foot, but my wife and granddaughter are very good backseat drivers so reminders come fast and often...

My 2020 SD with the 6.7 and 10 speed gets me 10.5-11.5 on a 180 mile trip. I run at 70 mph. I do have to slow down to go through half a dozen small towns. This truck gets 1 mpg better than my previous 2016 SD. I have done this trip numerous times. The 29rs isn't heavily loaded
On a trip to our CO vacation home I will drive 70-75 where the highways are four lane and little traffic. On a 660 mile trip like that driving at those speeds saves us around 1.5 hours of travel time..
As far as how old you are or retired status affects your speed: I just turned 60 and have been retired since '06..Donald AKA johndeerefarmer
