Speedometer Is Off

I have a 2009 F 150 that the speedo is 3 mph slow. I can not find a section for Windstars, but my 1999 Windstar speedo reads 4 mph slow also. Could they have the same problems?

This can happen when the tires are not the factory size.

If the tires are the factory issued size, then I’m not sure there is a problem.

My ‘03 F150 reads a flat 3 MPH high from the factory. Period. Pass by any roadside radar unit and that’s what it reads compared to the speedometer. Factory 255/70/16s on it.
