How fast should I go on the highway?

Can you drive a 70 mph range test?
However, we know most people don’t drive 55 mph on long highway trips, so we decided to do our highway range tests at 70 mph, to simulate what the typical driver might experience. We will, on occasion do range tests at slower speeds, just to see how much of a difference the speed makes.
Is it safe to drive 70 mph in snow?
If the road is just wet, then as far as the transfer case is concerned it is the same as driving on dry pavement. So, if there is snow on the surface of an interstate highway perhaps 70 mph isn’t a good idea. I have a 4X4 (’01 Toyota Sequoia) and I use 2wd Hi for highway speeds.
Can you go 70 mph with 4 wheel drive?
No four wheel drive on the planet will help you with that. Just slow down. “But is there a reason you’d want to go 70 in the snow??” That’s 20 MPH slower than 90 on dry pavement. You should NEVER drive a vehicle in part time 4wd at highway speeds, whether it’s dry pavement or slippery conditions.
