Speed limit on BS Badlands 2.0L

[jmtapiar]

Should have bought a different vehicle if going fast is your desire.

I do have a faster vehicle, but I like to test the cars... to me I test the top speed as I drove the BS on mud already and small creeks and will test the BS on rocky ground as well...
If the manufacturer governs the speed at 125 miles per hour, it means that the car is designed to support it and I like to test it and this is the first time I got this behavior from a car in a long time, last time it happened was a '06 VW jetta which did the same, after that I had VWs, toyotas, GMs, AUDIs, and haven't seen it happening until this trip.

i cant imagine that 120+ mph is “safe” in a vehicle as high as the BS. Having hit113 mph in a 240SXand 120 in amustang gt coyote im
Ok not taking the bronco sport over 90.

I like to test stuff too, but I don't wish to test the ambulance ride to a hospital, or the doctors there who may need to patch me up after a potential roll in the BS doing 125 MPH.

I'll take their word for it that it could do that.

Just as another reference, I looked up the Falken 235/65/17 and it has a speed rating of 130. I think some other tires in this size range have speed ratings of 118. This is just to say that the top speed of the BS is basically the top speed of the tires that fit on it. Something else to keep in mind, especially if it is a hot day down there in Mexico.

I agree with you, there is not much room regarding speed capacity on the tires, we are covered only with about 10km/hr over the top speed.

I disagree as I see it answered several times with the same answer:
we’re not trying it and we think it is unwise that you are trying it

I bought my brother-in-law a flame resistant hoody for Christmas. We didn’t feel the need to light him on fire to test its durability, but now I’m second guessing myself.

I did 95 mph the day I got mine just to see what it could do. That was enough for me!

Please make sure he is not wearing it
