Well, that's a lot different than a big boxy camper trailer, assuming you balance it right.

Towing at 70mph is not a big deal...if your equipped correctly..I regularly pull a 9500lb gross loaded trailer..its a bumper hitch and I pull it with my C30..and yes I also run 65-70...never had any issues..

It helps a lot if you don't think you can counter steer a sway situation. Lots of people get scared because their trailer wig-wagged and then wreck it when they could have just stayed steady and let it straighten out.
I used to purposely whip my trailer back and forth now and then just to see if there was someone hiding directly behind me in my blind spot. I've pulled everything up to a 10x50 mobile home, but that was with the old V-6 GMC and couldn't get it going that fast, and it was still 55 limit back then. Once I got used to the size, that was about the easiest trailer to pull.
