Probably because he knows that maverick trucks don't even go that fast down a hill.

My 2011 was governed at 64- probably was an ex-glass division truck. When I got my 2013 model, it did 70mph although I rarely drove it that fast. Recently due to our trucks being ABLE TO go 68-70mph SOME DRIVERS mis-used that priveledge and got some really bad speeding tickets in places that they shouldn't have (and were fired) thus causing the Safety Department to have the entire fleet turned down to 64 on the cruise and 65 on the pedal. But it really isn't a huge deal, most of us drive a little slower ON PURPOSE.

I once drove for a company that had tachographs in all of their trucks & we were suppose to drive 55 MPH! They would top out at about 62-65 MPH.
Limited to 55 MPH is so boring, I drove for that company for nearly 5 years. Our trucks had 290 Cummings cut back to 270s, 13 over with 4:88 rear-ends. Seems when your limited to a certain speed that speed is the speed that the truck vibrates at.
I hate gear bound trucks. I love to selected the speed that Im going to drive not a person setting behind a desk that has no idea about the conditions I'm driving under. -
He was totally being sarcastic for no reason, so I called him out on it
