I ran my truck on the highway in a 1/4 mile stretch.
The camera that was used only took fifteen second Mpegs at a time.
I was able to have the whole distance filmed so that should tell you something.

At the time I had close to 900 lbs of stuff in the box under the topper.
Some day I would like to take the topper off and take all the stuff in the back out to see what it can do.

Do you know your Horsepower or Torque? Rear gear ratio? Stock torque converter, if applicable?

Truck! Ford truck! I'm guessing you're running a stock suspension? My 60ft was 2.3 seconds... not traction limited sadly. What is a decent drag suspension/setup for a full size truck?
