Poor top end
I recently purchased a new left over 2017 F250 XL with the 6.2 gas engine. Today finally found deserted portion of I-95 and found out the trucks maximum speed is 96 mph.
What can be done to get higher speed. Truck now has 1500 miles on it.

Welcome to the site..
Speed limiting is a safety feature obviously, liability control, and questionable to exceed tire ratings, handling specs etc.taking design beyond manufacture recommendations.
That said,, I'd discourage you,, but quite a few tuners have the capability to override speed limiting. May be possible to rewrite as built data values to cancel the feature, have to look..
But if speed, and possibly a bit more power is a must, a tuner/chip may be a quicker, write safe option for both extensions... Warranty and personal liability come into play should the unmentionable arise.
