Don't get me wrong, I'm not condoning reckless behavior. I don't tell other people how to live theirs lives and don't want to be told how to live mine (Gadsden flag waving in the background). I'm a first responder. Several times in my life, while not working, I have found myself in the midst of an emergency and had to drive as fast as my vehicle could go (within a margin of safety) because seconds counted. The R1T actually handles amazingly well at high speed. If there's a mechanical limiting factor, I would say oh well, but this feels more like nannying. 120 would be better. As stated above, allWell unless you are on a closed course I don't know that 130MPH is a great plan. Just like the woman who was killed in Vegas by the NFL star going 130 in his vette and rear ending her, everyone else doesn't consent to do you doing that. The right to swing your fist ends at the tip of my nose and if we are talking about speaking for yourself I would rather not be on the freeway with someone doing that kind of speed especially in a pickup truck.
the tires are rated for 130. I agree that most people don't understand what cars can and can't do, especially at high speed, and that can be super dangerous. Most drivers haven't ever driven over 85mph. For me, that doesn't mean they should be prevented from doing it if they want to. Also, our perception is off. 110 on the Autobaun is slow.
