    The truck in the picture also weighs at least twice what your Outback probably weighs. A quick search tells me that in testing a 260hp ‘24 Outback topped out at 124mph. Yours is likely around the same, but that is going to depend on what engine configuration and year yours has as well as the mileage, etc.

      Weight has relatively little impact on top speed, it’s mostly just time to get to top speed. Aerodynamics are far more important. My Outback makes 175 HP and is speed limited to 120, and it will do 119.9mph.

        Weight matters more than you would think for top speed on what I am assuming is a diesel. My main original point though was that there is no way that truck is able to hit its limit.
