Probably let it get it's first oil change in before I try it. It will go well over 100. Depending on what tires you have on it. I've had the wife's Flex up over 100 before , but I've never pushed it to see how fast it would go before the fuel shuts off. It's basically a SHO with a different body 1 minute ago, BOHICA said: They put it on trucks cause of speed rating on tires I believe. Your ford prolly has Q speed rated tires from the factory. Most manufactures I believe keep a stock truck under 100 cause of tires Yep 1 minute ago, SSFB said: Would you mind asking him about the SYNC issue I posted about? I am getting nowhere with my local dealership on that and the other dealership is 50 miles away and they're basically telling me that I have to drop the truck off and cannot have a loaner while they work on it. I'll ask Mark if he knows anything when I talk to him tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
