Many states do have limits - California, for instance, has signs posted limiting trailers to 55 mph, which is roughly 80 km/h. Nobody pays any attention to them, and arguably a vehicle going that much slower than the average car presents a hazard.
It's also much easier to tow in someplace like Australia, which is mostly flat, than say the mountains of the western US.
