You obviously started driving once everything had power steering and steering wheels became smaller. It's the same as when guys come to these trucks and are afraid the truck will blow up if they drive 65-70 mph because they rev 2,500 to 3,000. Those guys obviously started driving once overdrive had become the standard. I've driven cross-country and back in these trucks at whatever speed suited me, school bus wheel and all
Lol, no offense. Yeah absolutely, it's what ever you're used to or have experience with. You nailed it, also, when I bought my truck, the 3 speed automatic transmission was toast so I put in a 4 speed because 3 speed sound like you are trying to kill them doing 70 on today highway speed limits.
