I sit around 90kph, I'm not in a rush, I don't drive at that speed for any economical reason either but then I don't use highways unless in a hurry then you will see Big Mal cruising along just nicely..... the usual rural roads I travel 100kph can be scary.

It should also be noted that in WA you are held to a 100kph limit whilst towing and in NSW if your GCM is over 4.5t then 100kph is your max no matter what the sign says, if your GCM is under 4.5t then you can do the posted limit.......all the rest can cruise along happily at the posted speed limit, possibly terrifying other road users at 110...lol,lol.

and if you do over 100kph towing in your Ranger you can void your warranty.............

So there you go get a 5.7 hemi in a Jeep Grand Cherokee or a RAM 1500 and never worry about hills ever again, not to mention sounds very cool........
