First time truck guy. 1500 5.7 hemi quad cab blackout edition.

Im blown away !! love it !!
BUT
Was on the highway messing with fellow speedsters and soon discovered i was limited to 105 mph !! Still pulling hard till then and had to watch a little VW Rabbit pull away from me !! Man was I embarrassed...
Now im looking but cant make heads nor tails of what my options are to rid myself of the limiter and increase performance. Seems like the 2021's cant be tricked out yet ??

Hee hee, dat funny. My old work truck was topped out at 99 mph, Prius go faster than that F150. Well, U have to get into locked ECM: Change out. Then suspension upgrades, brakes, rotors, tires, all the upgraded things U need to run dat fast. Just a saying...

Won't be cheap to tune it though.You'll need an unlocked PCM and i'm not sure,but i think on your 2021 you'll also need the bypass cable before you can have it tuned.The truck will surprise you on how fast it will go once it's tuned and the limiter is opened up.Telephone poles will go by like a picket fence ,lol:Big Laugh:

105 mph on U.S. Highways? In a full size truck? I must be senile, but we'd never attempt such a thing in my day. Maybe a GTO or something, and maybe once or twice. No death wish for me, thanks.

If that LIL Rabbit was a Golf R, you have nothing to embarrassed about .

Why the double yellow line........doesn't mean no passing in Canada......LoL
Yup it means the same up here as down south,lol. There's a dirt side road just up ahead, you're not supposed to pass ,when approaching a side road.

Some days you'd think so,lol. A week ago,i was on a better road then this one,that was basically dead flat for close to 10 miles,so i opened up the wifes car,and it hit the limiter at 271kph/168mph. I gotta get it tuned soon,as there's lots more in it,but FCA limits the 1320 Challangers to that speed because of the drag radials they come with on all 4 corners (similiar to the Demons top speed,lol)

Reminds me of a road I drove going to and from work when I was younger. This was a 4 lane highway where the 2 lanes going north was on a lower level than the 2 lanes going south and you could see for a mile (was in the mountains) so there was no way you could meet a cop coming from the other direction. Any car I had I would bury the speedometer going there just to make sure it was running right. Drove a '68 Road Runner for 8 years going to and from work, It only registered 120 but it seen it at least twice a day. That was when we mostly had bias ply tires with no speed rating. That's why I believe the tires we have today are so much better and I take the top speed rating with a grain of salt. I'm sure they make sure they cover their b u t t with speed ratings they put on them. How I miss those days, don't get as much chance to endanger my life like that anymore! LOL

I don't blame you. I removed my limiter with a tuner. I like burying my speedometer from time to time in the right place. Grandma's car will do 105 MPH!

The last time the wife and i were up on the Highwood pass,there were a couple bears in the ditch,there were also a couple on bicycles,and the young gal was freaked right out with how close they were ,so we threw their bikes in the box of my truck and they also crawled into the box,and we drove them a couple miles down closer to the valley floor,to where they felt safer.In the spring and fall you'll see all kinds of animals on the roads in the mountains.The last one is just east of me about 20 minutes,and is a another good road to try out your toys top speed,lol
