I disabled the auto setting on my x and was just curious on how fast you can actually drive in 4low. In my case it would be 2 low, but i was just wondering. I always thought that you really couldn't exceed like 25 mph or something, or maybe not even that fast. Not that i will be driving like this ALL the time, but i would like to know. Thanks.

As fast as the truck will move up till redline :)
Hasnt broken yet!
 






In OD with lockup in low range I can get up to about 40mph before I get worried about spinning the motor too fast.. I've only used 2lo when I needed the extra torque and when I wanted to scare someone at work with his m3.. I took him up to about 40mph then backed off.. he couldn't believe how fast the X could acclerate...
