Talking need for speed

I had to see what the new f-150 can do, so I punched the throttle and it jumped to 90mph in no time, and it had a lot more to go. But at 90 it was all over the place and thought I was going to flip it. Was very disappointed with the truck at that speed. My question is how fast can you guy's go with the stock suspicion?

you dont.... you say "At high speeds during highway driving, the truck seems unsafe as if it's gonna roll over. Can you check it out for me!?"

Just ask the techy to go for a Ride with you to see if he can notice a problem you feel you have then take that bad puppy up to the 90+ range and when it starts to wander grin alot and give out several Evil Laughs Bawhahahaha and ask him if he thinks this is normal

Smooth as silk all the way up to the limiter.. can't wait for the tuner & some tires to take it into triple digits.!

You'll hit the 98mph or so speed limiter LONG before any rev limiter kicks in...

120+ in the FX4 and it felt planted quite well. (as well as a 4x4 can be lol)

Anyone know how fast these trucks can go? I didn't want to push mine much past 110 cause i have 35 toyo's and i pretty sure there not speed rated very high. Might have to buy myself some z rated tires to check it out i guess

When these things hit 4th gear(about 116mph for me) its like they hit a brick wall. I've had it probally about 130-140 tops, took quite a while to get there, and it just sits and wont go anymore.
