    Governed at 58 on the floor, 62 on the cruise.

    Unless they've changed it.

    You start getting a bonus if your fuel economy is high.

    Correct for company drivers. Lease ops are governed at 65 either way

    Correct, although the bonus program isn't what it used to be. Lease ops "bonus" is that they spendless on fuel & therefore pocket more profits

    Lol! None of the trucks are governed below 60. This lame rumor won't die.

    In other words, even company trucks aren't governed under 60. Thanks for proving Darthanubis correct.
     
    darthanubis and BigSky Thank this.

    I guess technically speaking he is right they are not as long as the on guard system doesnt go out. Then your stuck at 58 till you stop and shut it down to reboot the system but its all good. I dont mind going slow no . We still make appointment times and are not all stressed out at end of the day. Plus fuel mileage is up.
     
    JV_620 and darthanubis Thank this.

    And that is the only time your stuck below 60. In the winter time when ice builds up over the sensor it was maddening. As lease, I now have 65 on the pedal, and cruise. My truck even idles over 20 minutes at least.
     
    wolf71 Thanks this.

    Just a tip,
    My 2016 Cascadia occasionally suffers from the dreaded "no OnGuard=no cruise" syndrome. At least in my truck, if I turn the cruise off and back on twice, the cruise control will work without needing to stop and kill the main battery switch.
     
    wolf71 and darthanubis Thank this.
