Until the speed limiter kicks-in.

Eenie meenie chilli beanie, the spirits are about to speak! ...
And the year, model, trim and engine of your F-150 is ?????

HINT/TIP: Put your vehicle information in your sig' -OR- provide it in your posting(s).

REALLY! HOWEVER .......... (excerpted from the 2012 F-150 owner's manual)
4H (4X4 HIGH) - provides mechanically locked four-wheel drive power to the front and rear wheels. This position is not recommended for use on dry pavement. This position is only intended for off-road or winter conditions, such as deep snow, ice or shallow sand.

Note: Do not use 4H (4X4 HIGH) on dry, hard surfaced roads. Doing so can produce excessive noise and increased tire wear. 4H (4X4 HIGH) is only intended for consistently slippery or loose surfaces.
(owner's manual) Don't have one ?

Yes I do have one and I already read that. But nowhere in there does it say a speed.

If you are in 4 HI you are either offroad somewhere or on snow or ice. I wouldn't suggest going 95 in either condition...... If you are let me know so I can stay off the road where you will be driving

I'm with Adam. Driving 95 miles an hour in a 4x4 environment would be unwise, unrecommended, and help to advance Darwin's Laws.

I use it in the sand mostly. But in was just wanting to know how fast I can go without breaking anything. Never really go over 50
