Speed Limiter
Hey guys I have a quick question. Today I had the opportunity to do some straight line runs with my 2.7 EcoBoost. We were on an old runway complex that was straight & smooth, better yet not on a public road.....To my surprise my speedometer hit 100mph, then kept climbing & climbing until I felt compelled to let off (because I wanted adequate slow down distance) at 117mph as indicated by my digital readout. I of course was skeptical & on my next run I had my Garmin GPS on also, it read a top speed of 119mph before I let off of it, my digital speedo in the truck again read 117mph. Is this for real ? Where is the factory speed limiter or is there not one ? My 2010 F150 would cut out at 98mph. Did Ford somehow screw up with the calibration file in my truck ? My build date is April 2015 for my truck. My wife drives a new 2015 Edge Sport AWD with the 2.7 EcoBoost (kinda mad her vehicle is faster than mine....lol) After doing some research I found that Ford sets the speed limiter on her Edge Sport at 135mph.....that's crazy. So just wondering where is the speed limiter on ours set at ? Searching comes up with like 4 different answers. I've read everything from 110, 115 & 120. So does anybody know for sure ? I know mine for a fact will do at least 117mph (I'm taking the lowest of the 2 readings I got) as confirmed by a GPS unit. Am I just a special case.....lol

I've been around there too and found it surprising that it didn't cut the fuel like our old 97 F150 does...at 96mph.
