Towing a Haul Master trailer?

Almost any utility trailer is rated 45-55 mph, I think most people pull them faster from time to time, but use caution.

Oh, the bearings could overheat and seize, or catch fire.

That sounds like one of ones with the smaller wheels (9"?), so yes, the tires could come apart from the speed or overheat and blow.

Keep in mind that things at Harbor Freight are made with the cheapest materials and very little QA. If you want a trailer to pull on the highway, go buy a real one. Expect that any trailer you pull will decrease your gas mileage; the faster you're driving, the more the impact will be.

Small wheels, short bouncy little trailer...yup 45mph sounds about right to me. Much faster and you are risking damage to cars and people around you.

Sounds like you were enticed by the price and forgot everything else.

What do you mean cheap, very little QA? I'll have you know that Harbor freight only sells the best of cheap chinese imports! ;-)

Well it does have the largest (12") wheels. thanks!

If you use the trailer as intended it will carry loads it was designed to. A friend bought a 4x8 trailer base from Harbor Freight. He had to build the sides and completely rewire it before the lights would work, but once complete it hauled household stuff for about 5 years. Ultimately the low price became apparent when the frame started rusting out.
