Here in Texas the speed limit is 80 and in some areas its 85. Guess I won't be keeping up. My biggest surprise however is that neither Thor nor the Ford dealership mentioned anything about a speed limiter. Makes me wonder about them.
Ford has an option for fleet customers to have a speed limiter installed on the E series stripped and cutaway and F53 chassis. The speed limiter is available for two settings I believe one is approx. 55 and the other is about 70.

I imagine Ford pre assembles the chassis and then when Thor places an order they get what Ford has available. It is quite possible Thor has no idea which coach chassis have the limiters installed.
