Speed limiter?

[RangerPilot]

An aviation buddy of mine remarked to me this morning that he had done over 100 in his Explorer on the highway ('95, 4 door, 2WD, 4.0, auto). I thought that was awfully high. I didn't wanna get some triple digits on mine to see one way or the other, but I remember my Ranger when it was stock limiting at mid-90s. What's the limiter on the aforementioned Explorer stock? And mine for that matter?

Not exactly sure what the limiter is on a explorer but I know for a fact. On the 2000 Ford zx2 they about 90 -105.
My friends starts cutting out at 92 while the one I have cuts out at 103. Both are the same year and exactly the same in every way but color.
Kinda Odd one would think they would be the same.

Yeah, IIRC they're s'posed to quit at about ~96mph...

I think my buddy has had his up to 98 or so (2000, 4wd, 4.0). I think my ranger was .. 104? ('99, 4wd, 3.0)

sounding like "over 100" is less likely than "near 100". what do those odometer's go to on a 95 explorer. if it's 85 like my F150, maybe he was just guessing

speedo should be 120 ... any way i think the diff would be in ure vehicle speedo reading and calibration its supposed to be 98 as far as the computer is concearned of course theres always somw way around it

i second guessed myself on the 120 but found a pic i know 120 sounds crazy especially if uve ever driven one .... but they put it there for show i guess

Speedo in 95-up goes to 120 as far as I know. If it stops raining at some point I may take it out to the closed runway and see where mine kicks in at.
