Engine RPM And Vehicle Speed Limiter

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Ford Pickup, 2012 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2012 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2012 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The powertrain control module (PCM) limits the engine RPM by cutting off fuel whenever the engine RPM limit is detected. The purpose of the engine RPM limiter is to prevent damage to the powertrain. The RPM limit for the F-Super Duty is 3, 800 RPM. The vehicle speed is limited to 153 km/h (95 mph) for the F250/F350 and F450 pickups (wide frame) and 130 km/h (81 mph) for the narrow frame F450/F550 vehicles.
