The official speed limiter setting on the 09 was 97mph. Got this from Ford a tech via a mechanic at the dealer I go to. needed it and some other info due to a ticket.
I assume the 10 model is about the same. Yes you can turn it off with a programmer, but it is there mainly due to tires. Reason being P series are speed rated, but with the higher CG of a truck and the derating of the tires load carrying ability, along with the fact that LT tires are not speed rated.
PS - Limiter was set at 97, real speed was 94.8.

As for the ticket, because the cop stated he had me on radar and followed me at 99mph, and I could prove the vehicle could not go that fast, I was found not guilty. The cop is probably lucky if he was not brought up on perjury charges.
Besides the doc from the tech, I had a company certify the max speed of the truck and it was notarized.

It was showing 110 because your speedo was uncorrected. The real limiter was set at about 100.

I know from the same set of messages to the tech, he stated that the 04-08 were supposed to be set at 99-100.

As far as the ticket, I wasn't going that fast, not even close. As far as going to the limiter speed, just like anything else, it is good to know vehicle limitations etc. Do I normally go near that speed, no, hardly ever.
