mototway speed

[larson]

recently i went to cunbria to look at a twincab hilux with a friend. i realy didnt want to take my maverick over 65mph on a 2.5 hours trip each way. just wondered what speeds yoy drove your terrano/mavericks at on the motorway over distance.

cheers larson

I sit at 75 on the clock which is 70 on the sat nav

 

[iceman]

i would travel around 70 to 80 mph from enniskillen to belfast and back again a few times a week, is there a reason not to go over 65mph?.

Remember years ago someone asked me "If Typhoo put the "T" in Britain who put the "c**t" in Scunthorpe"

mine has got 169,800 miles on it now and i just dont want to give it too much stick unless theres a 2cv at the trafic lights:lol

 

[extreme-4x4]

accelerator is in the on position all the way when on motorways

whatever the distance.... is there a max you can do then?

mine is 160k and no problems

Depoends what tyres I've got on, with the muds I sit at about 63 cos they shake less at that speed due to being out of balance, but with other tyres I'll do a strict 70 obviously officer - not.

thos eare true figure btw fro stanav - though my speedo is less than 1mph out at 70 anyway due to bigger tyres.

no max but mines petrol not a tdi and i recon its a we bit ratley when its given plenty.. just trying to make it last while i save for something else

find the troll, and the t2 before happiest around 66 which is nearer a real 60 with
or without the tin tent. which means only cars and a few white vans get past us.

also helps keep over 4 ton of car and caravan returning over 22mpg.

further on the at2s on t2 got noticeably louder over this speed, the h/t's less so on
troll but hey which thrash it, built for range not speed.

motorway speeds

I sit between 70 and 90, 5 people in the motor generally (mrsp & 3 teenage boys)

70 mph get a wheel wobble, slower i get bored so faster than 70 it is then to stop the wheel wobble.

[harlowmaverick]
