Default Top speed

Ok, im going to start with this. I know its a truck its not supposed to be fast who cares. Yes its not safe but I dont drive like this normally.

Took the truck for a drive today decided to "top it out" since I had only had it to 90 before. I was running 95 when it down shifted and started asking for more so it was pegged at 100 still gaining speed. Guess Ill have to get a tunner to figure out realy top end. What have others found theirs to be, just curious.

I looked this up once and even though it pegs at 100 they are governed at 108 I believe give or take a mile per hour

I saw your rear bumper guard on craigslist the other day and realized we have the same brush guard too.

Ya I've been to the peg several times. Soon I'll get an Edge and I'll be able to really get a good top speed

Pulled up the records on my Edge, and here's what came up. Don't know what the actual top speed would be.
