I havent really tried the fastest yet. I've had it in the 100s but the M/t tires arent really meant for fast speeds lol. Last thing I want is a blow out going that speed and killing someone.

So how fast have you been?
Which gear?

I honestly don't know what gear I was in. I was in Drive, but was not paying attention to the shifts.

I will come forward as the self proclaimed chicken of the group. The fastest I have been in my truck is 85 passing someone on a 2 lane highway. I never try the top speed thing because I always lose my nerve. I figure if my truck can do the speed limit and 5 above, its good enough for me.

i got up to 100, surprisingly 100 feels like 65. except when it comes to slowing down to get behind a car when you see another car head on in a passing section.
