I don't recall having an special problems with speed when in Korea in the
late 70's/early 80's. We had one M543A2, which got a fair amount of use on
the open road. We were limited to either 50 or 54 mph by speed limit ....
and we usually were around there even with a deuce in tow, tho we usually
just used a 5 Ton tractor and a tow bar as it was much easier to maneuver.
