Top Speed of the 2.7 Bronco?

[JT58Bronc]

Vehicles drive fast here in FL- cruise at 80-90 with some doing 100 and over. I had to pass one time to get by a semi driving 65 in a 70 and had to pull into fast lane traffic- Bronco got up to about 100 pretty quickly, maxed out and I was holding up traffic briefly until I could get back over in the other lane and let the traffic zoom by me doing about 110. I see quite a few monster trucks cruising at about 90- 100 often- do they have the speed limiters removed?

I downshifted two gears (7 sp Manuel Tranny) to pass one of those dipshits doing 42 in a 60mph zone, I looked at the speedo, and I was doing 80!
And I'm trying to grandma this thang around until I get it broke in.

It's now broken in.

@Taco2Bronco I did some back of the envelope calculations and came up with 130 MPH for non-SAS Big Bend or Outer Banks. Base would be 5-10 more. Badlands would be 5-10 less. Sasquatch would be even less. But of course the safety lawyers have the limiter set around 101.

Safety lawyers? Or tire engineers?

LA you are lucky to go 7 mph average on your 2.5 hour 17 mile commute

My Black Diamond can hold 101/102 and I’ve seen it as high as 107 on a decline

Where did you find a hill in Kansas?!

If you start at Goodland, el. 3681 ft (almost in Colorado on I70) it is all downhill to Kansas City at only 892 ft above sea level which is only about 100 ft higher than Erie, PA

hahahahaha
so it loses 2700 feet over a span of 400 miles. less than 7 feet per mile of drop. Pretty sure the loading dock at my local Costco has more elevation change
