With a trailer, you shouldn't be going over 60 mph period. Tires and bearing aren't made for sustained speed above that (at least according to Phil from Phil's tire when I started trailering and was looking for advice). Your truck was trying to give you a hint.
btw, the NC looks awesome.
Anecdotal, but in 4.5 years of towing at 70 mph, I've had precisely zero issues. Keeping ahead of bearing/brake maintenance and checking tire pressure before setting off are two key factors to that.
