101 MPH speed limiter

Not bad for a brick with some wheels on it.

when you think you need to drive 100 mph to pass on a public roadway, it might be a good example of where human discretion and emotional self-control is more important than mechanical speed limitation.

Or a perfect example of when people should mind their business and keep right.

Shaped like a brick...

Limiter is likely headwind?

Nope. Tested it downhill. Electronic limiter

Tires are rated at 105. I got it up to 107 and 106 a couple times and didn’t think it had a limit until once at 108 or 109 it hit the limiter.

How many miles on it? Could be limited during break in period.

They’re speed limited because the tires aren’t rated for going over 106

If you put it in Baja mode does it remove the limiter?

Also did you have to pull over immediately due to using up all your gas?

Spent the first two days with my Bronco drivingfrom MN to UT. Could not be happier but discovered they are speed limited to 101MPH.

I was hoping for at least 120.

Man...my 1997 Ford Escort didn't hit it's governor until 107.

The average person really shouldn't be driving anything that handles like a Bronco even close to 100 mph

Also, tire speed ratings are a thing...

I don’t think my 89 escort would’ve hit 107 even if the speedo read 30 fast!

I mean it’s only 21mph over on most roads out west headed back to Utah. And if 5mph over is ok it’s only 16mph over.

Some convertibles have limits. Wonder if that has something to do with it not having a fixed hard roof.

Hahaha, that's awesome. I got mine at the post dealer in Germany, when I was in the Army. I would constantly have to get out of the way of Opel and Mercedes station wagons on the Autobahn. Mine was an American market build. The European market Fords didn't have a governor.

Not an average person and it handles way better than my defender does at 94 when it’s speed limiter kicks in.
