Put a wing on the back, ads 5hp and 20 mph to your top speed.

As far as trucks go, yeah, it's pretty fast. But what difference does it make? Your question is too generic anyway and you need to search.

Yes, it is a quick, responsive truck.

I love it when they put up the speed limit trailer in my neighborhood.

Be that as it may ... it is still a truck.

I think it's pretty fast already, and I have larger tires on that reduce the torque a bit. I unintentially blow away almost any car behind me at red lights. I'm usually hitting 30mph before I hit 3rd gear and look back to see the car behind me just crossing the intersection. I'm not trying to race or anything, and it just seems "normal" for this truck to me. So either the truck is faster than most other cars, or the people in my area fall asleep at red lights!
