65 mph max. due to the ST tire rating plus the fact that beyond 65 just doesn't feel comfortable. I treat 65 like the redline in an engine and use the GPS as the speedo for better accuracy. I used to car race back in my youth and have the truck and TT set up for optimal handling and zero sway and could easily go much faster but have NO interest. I set the CC for 65 and enjoy the ride. When we install new Endurance tires, I'll still stay at 65 max.
I'm used to doing 65 in WA, OR & CA but when we went to Utah, I couldn't believe how much 65 makes you feel like you're standing still compared to everyone else (limit is 80). Had a long FW towing a long boat pass fly past us at some crazy speed. This is a photo of a truck pulling a flatdeck trailer with a very wide load passing us doing waay above 65. He was even moving over onto the shoulder to get past slower vehicles in the right lane. Insane!
