Does anyone else find it all too easy to find yourself in excess of posted speed limits driving the ecoboost.........

 

Shoot...you got enough HP on tap. Let the LEO pull up next to you, throw your beer bottle at him, and FLOOR IT!!!

 

he was nice enough to write 77 on the ticket - could have been far worse......... lol

 

LOL! Yes, they like to move and they do it so well.

 

I find it hard... Very Hard indeed! HAHAHA

 

What's the hurry ? Set the cruise to 4 above the posted limit.

 

No, no problem like that. I do have a problem with crap drivers on my rear that don't start slowing down before the speed limit changes. That's what those "Reduced speed ahead" signs are for. I can honestly say, if I get a speeding ticket, it's on me.

 

No EB but there's something cool about these trucks like going a genuine 60mph where it feels like 40 mph compared to my other vehicles.
Rear view mirrors are your friend and especially my radar detectors which have paid for themselves numerous times over.
Can't count the times i spotted a LEO in the distance behind from the rear view mirrors.

I don't purposely speed, call it all situational awareness.
OK, maybe the occasional Italian tune up once in a while.

 

The sweet spot on my "16 5.0 is about 80, My "11 Ecoboost had a sweet spot just above 70. It would accelerate very very quickly, but I had no problem maintaining the speed limit. With the 5.0 I have to use CC anytime I am on an open hiway. Even in town I have to work at staying under the speed limit. Iike to blame it on the lighter truck, but it may be the way the computer is programed.
