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
These trucks were never intended to go over 60 …. Can’t tell ya how many guys have said that to me . People have no clue
