This was true when I learned to drive 40 years ago, but no longer.
NSW has no special speed limits for trailers any more and even WA is now 100kph.

I often tow my 8'x5' trailer through the Blue Mountains (home) using my wife's automatic 2.4l Mitsubishi Nimbus (Mitsubishi Expo in the US I think).
It's not that quick climbing hills with a heavy load, but it still gets there.
