Top speed 50mph, slowing to 5mph if it gets any rougher than the usual Mexican highway...
If the jarring don't kill your kidneys, waiting for a relieve stop will.
I once drove from Gonzaga Bay north to San Felipe- in a 2x F250. That's the section the racers bypass by risking all and driving the beach at low tide. Our FFs could not make the beach run- too slow to make it before the tide comes in (20 feet measured vertically, maybe 2 miles hgorizontally). And the overland route is the roughest road in the world. The smooth parts are loose bricks, the rough parts are loose concrete chunks. I used granny for 20 miles of the 100. And both spares. A stock FF would be in granny to avoid be rattled around inside the truck like a box of rocks- they don't ride like a F250. That 100 miles would take 20 hours.
