My is governed to 65.

I would be comfortable at 70 ( although wasteful).

My last truck was set at 65. My new one is set at 83 from the factory. However, we normally drive at 62 mph.

70 mph in most of our trucks, but some are set at 65 mph.

I found my van's 93 mph governor somewhere in South Texas. My wallet governs me to 70 loaded, 60 empty.

I don't know--- never found the top end. However, about 70 or just below when speed of traffic allows that. Sometimes I drift down to 60 and find it hard to stay above that. Not because of the vehicle-- because of me.

I have mine governed at 67 mph. Just enough to pass all the slow pokes doing 65 if I need to.
I mostly run at 60 mph.

WG Tractors that go to Canada Said to have be set 65. Makes a lot of People mad when u pass some one slower than you in a 65 and they are going 62 63 in a 65mph zone. The line behind you are in 70 plus trucks and cuss you out on the CB. One thing to say. Need the Bull Back it would get up and go.
