and your drive shaft did not detonate!!!!! WHAT A SHOCKER!!!----he said VERY sarcastically
Driveshaft wasn't the reason for the stock 96 mph limit, it was the speed rating on the LT tires.
I hadn't intended to go that fast, and will have to watch out next time.
sometimes it's not about WANTING to go FASTER. this is more or less about WANTING to be a FREE man and if I feel the need (or have the need) to go above 100mph, then I don't see why not. I'm just tired of being told what i can and can't do by some bureaucrat that sits in an office and gets chauffeured around or drives a $150k dollar something that is able to do 150mph
The why not is because someone with their F-250 pulling a 13k fifth wheel loaded to 16k with a boat trained behind it will try to go 100mph too, have a blowout, kill someone in the truck or oncoming lane, and then Ford will be in a lawsuit. Which in turn drives up the cost of the next trucks as they maintain profitability.
The bureaucrats set the speed limit on the sign, not the one in the truck. You can thank you fellow litigious countrymen for making the lawyers at the OEMs program in a limit that corresponds to the tire speed rating.
