I brought my M109 home from Indianapolis to Tampa last year. It had a hard time at speeds over about 50. It can get to 55 but any kind of incline much less hill and down it went. My M35 will hold 55 fine but I try to keep it at 50. If you look at the specs the M109 is about a ton heavier then the standard deuce and the wind resistance from the box is amazing. Good news is that unless you are going cross country the 5 MPH or so will not make much of a time difference. I find that the difference in comfort level for me is much better in the 45 - 50 MPH range then at 55 MPH.
