Do you think it would hold up good at highway speeds (65-75 mph) for long distance driving?

I drive wiyh mine all yhe time at those speeds. It has been about 9 months since I installed the top. The only issue I have is one of the side window channels unhooks partially once in a while. It is probably an incorrect adjustment on my part. Had a foot of snow on it the other day and no worries. Hope that helps your decision.

Yes. I've had it on my truck for a year now. I've taken several trips with it. It's held up great.

I would commute 90 miles one way to work on the interstate and it did not stay on the best. I ended up having to screw the part at the back glass down. So for me I wasn't happy with it. Plus the windows did not stay in good.

Yes worked fine except for the Velcro strip holding the cab window on. I had to reinforce the strip attached to the bed to keep it from pulling loose. Other than that I've had zero problems.

It has done a nice job at highway speeds, although I had a 40 mph head wind once and I had to do a little work on it. I no longer use it because I have a 5th wheel

About 45 to 50 mph wide open. It has the 2 speed transmission that shifts really nice. Upkeep shouldn't be a problem but parts are getting a little scarce.

I'm not sure. I've only used it on a 4x4 running at >70mph off road. Try asking RAM. They are used by pro's so I wouldn't doubt that it might be fine at even greater speeds.

No, that won't happen, I ride about 1.5 miles on a very bumpy dirt road, with no problems. The one thing i can say is that if it is loaded heavy, it does change some of the ride characteristics at high speed. But it is very secure.

I drive highway all the time with mine with no issues. I also go through the car wash once a week with no issues.

Yes it will be fine. I ran mine into a low fence at a little over 60mph and it survived. The clearance under the fence was 3 inches and the truck stopped instantly under the compression. Broke a front body post but the chassis was just fine.

I have only had kayaks on it so there is not much to support. I have had it on the highway at 65 mph with no problems but only have a few hundred miles on it. So far so good.

you can't beat it for the price but I don't think it's going to Hold Up, if you hit someone beyond 25 miles per hour. I've done research and it seems that you have to spend 500 to $2,000 to get the right protection in the front.

I think so. I drove over 2,000 miles cross country here in the U.S.A. at speeds between 65 and 75 mph, and the two straps sufficiently kept everything secure. It is important to check your straps at every stop, but I only had to retighten them slightly at about the 1,800 mile point in the trip.

I'm not sure about that but I do know they can handle 70 mph +. Drive on the interstate every day at that speed and have no problems. Hope this helps.

It would hold up but be a bit small. Look up scooter x power kart on youtube. Then you can see how big/small it is.Thabk you

I drive with it all the time... even over 55mph... just make sure the straps are tight... itis very easy to put on... but remember the back is open so no driving in the rain.

I never have. My boat runs about 50 mph. I don't think I would want to try going that fast with it up. But maybe 25 mph I believe it would hold up.

Hi. I have driven at highway speeds for about 30 miles without a problem. The only thing with the rack is it may make a wear make on your bike. I put a piece of foam pipe installation on the bike to prevent marking.

We use it for going back & forth to the beach but yes, it is pretty sturdy, I think it would be fine for long distance.

I would say yes, it is a good quality for the price. I have a 10 year old son that drives it and he is a bit rough on it in my opinion, but it has held up well. I feel probably an older kid or an adult would probably take bettercare on it. Ours is used a majority of the time outside in the neighborhood and like I said it has held up well considering the abuse it's been through.

I don't think I'd travel too far down the freeway with it on, but through town at a moderate rate of speed wouldn't hurt. It's easy to remove, so there really isn't any reason to leave it attached when your traveling a great distance.
