First long run
First road trip with the f250 and I could not be more pleased with how the truck ran. 90-100 MPH was smooth as glass with power to burn when you needed it. Night and day better than my 2012 Raptor.....well done FORD !!!

I had a 2013 6.7 with 3:55 gears and it hit 100 mph and that was the limit. Now I have a 2016 with 3:73 gears, and it is limited to 95 mph. Not sure if it is speed limited or RPM limited, but it seems the gear ratio will make a difference in your top end.

I think it is a speed limiter. There are plenty more RPMs to go in 6th gear at 90+ mph before the fuel cutoff.
Straight line flat flat roads are fine for high speed, but I wouldn't want to be cornering much in these at that velocity.

I see you're running 35" tires.

I hit an indicated 95 in my dually last night on the Interstate. Just briefly, don't need any more good driving awards. It gets there very fast and is rock solid stable.
