According to the DOT standards, every line is 10 ft long with a 30 ft space......so beginning of one white line to the next is 40 ft.
I counted 20 lines at the semi hood in 9.8 sec.
That is 20x40=800 feet in 9.8 sec.
60 sec / 9.8 = 6.1
6.1 x 800 = 4880 ft per min or almost exactly 55 mph.
I don't even think the F250 was even going 65, maybe 63 mph.
It appears to be a long bed (can't tell) and is shorter than a crew cab (extra cab).
Looks like setup and weight distribution.
Btw my math may not be totally correct....disclaimer before someone rips me a new one for being 2mph off.
