Sorry, just relaying what they posted on their blog.
They complained about 30mph climbing a 6% grade on freeway in the candian rockies. Maybe they have an older weaker engine? 70mph top end still would be annoying assuming that is pedal to the metal.

I'd much rather save a whole butt load of money and use it to travel more.
The engine is governed at 70. But believe me 60 is fast enough with a 26000 lb truck on 47" tires with a pretty high CG.
I have probably only driven 1/3 of my total mileage in the US. In W. Europe the speed limit for trucks over 3500kg is only 85kph (53mph). Australia does not have interstates, a lot of the paved roads have no shoulder or in the outback are even 1 lane. And in the 3rd world - you'd have to be crazy to try to drive fast.
I have discovered that happiness does not necessitate being able to drive 75mph up long grades.
