Well, short answer is yes. I'd be more worried about killing other people if you have to make an evasive maneuver, because those speeds + that trailer = trouble.

It's probably not good for it or safe for that matter... It also Depends on your Trans temp as well.

From the time the transmission goes into a vehicle....your killing it. They start to wear from day 1.
