hey my girlfriends roomate says her ford explorer will do 120. i dont believe her. is there any truth behind this rummer or is she full of s**t if so where do they govern out at.

even if it could do 120 i can far exceed that speed so i am not to worried about racing her. But she is telling me that it will do 120 and i dont see a 1999 firestone catastrophic blow out explorer being able to exceed 105. just dont seem right.

 

I had my 99 grand cherokee up over 100 a couple of times. It was faster than I really wanted to go in a 4000lb brick on thick all terrain tires, but it was still pulling pretty good. I don't doubt that a 302 equipped Exploder could do it as well.

 

My wife drives and explorer and IM a cop in the military her 2003 and it is governed at 108 mph and i clocked it with police radar so she is a little off

 

I had my supercrew at about 110 since the odometer goes to 100 I'm sorta guessing

 

Early 90's explorers cut out at 95, but somewere in the later 90's they bumped the governer to 105 or 106..

 

And we all know that the governor can't be bypassed.

cool thanks i new she was full of it. When she was talking about it she was saying it would do 120 because thats what her spedometer went up to. i was like no it will govern out at whatever the tires from the factory are rated at. it is also a 2003. she stated she had it up to that on the way to los angels. hey thanks for the info.
