What's "ae" ?

The speed limit for towing a trailer is either the posted speed limit or common sense.  A vehicle towing a trailer is less capable in the areas of braking, turning, stability, and acceleration.  Common sense and experience with your rig will tell you what your trailer speed limit is.

Also, "ST" trailer tires are rated at 65 MPH max.

Forgive me for asking......how do you find out the speed rating on a tire? Would it have to do with the max cold inflation psi?

Age limits???...if you do not have a graduated license, i.e. which include the assorted limitations, such as not driving at night, or not having too many passengers, you can tow a trailer unless you get into the commercial side of the game...

I remember reading a poston here that ome states have a lower speed limit for horse trailers

    and age restrictions for operators under the age of 21 for length of truck and trailer combinations until the age

    of 21.  I  looked through the fist 55 pages of postsand could not find it.  if anyone remembers it please let me

    know.                   Thank You    p.s. I'm not illiterate just have keyboard issues.

I remember the chart that you are talking about. I think Paul was the one that posted it, or a link to it. The discussion at the time was lengths and two trailers hooked together. I don't remember seeing anything on age restrictions though.
