How Fast Will it GO ???

Do our Titan's have a governor on them keeping the top end speed in check? If not, how fast do they think they can get?

Yes they do have a speed limiter..............max is around 114MPH.

Since someone else brought this up.

I have seen the video someone made of this, but here is what I have experienced on mine.

I have the BT package with OR package. When I hit 100 MPH, my tach is showing almost 6K (redline), I can't even get to the 112 or so that others claim. That is all there is and there aint no more.... Anyone else with the same configuration see this happen? Mine is also 4x4. I found this out when two Chevy Z71's thought they could leave me....and after we hit 100, they did....

I have same setup, BT w/ OR and had no problems getting to 115mph. Here you can see 115mph at 4K in 4th gear I believe, with one more gear to go.

Interesting. Not sure what gear I was in as I had just put her to the floor in Drive. That is the third time I have had her floored in Drive with the same results. So, it almost sounds like I may have been in 3rd? I might have to start using that gated shifter.....

On I-44, I got mine to 120mph easy.

So the speed limiter should be more than 114 MPH as stated above? Unless you have modified yours????

He may have been going downhill picking up a little extra momentum pushing him to the 120 mark

No, I didn't modify anything, all I did was replaced the filter and added a tornado.

I'm affraid you're wrong, straight line on level pavement I gunned it to try and keep up with a CBR-R one day coming from Springfield MO.
