    I love the way they standardised it across Australia, but good old WA said nah! (computer says No )
    In which case, after reading that, Puma's owner's Handbook states a maximum towing speed of 80kph and so that's what you should be doing except in WA you can do 100kph when towing.

    After 3 months towing a trailer I can say I found the best speed to be around the 80-90 kph in 5th unless it was long and flat then you could just cruise in 6th at 100 kph.

    Bit of grave digging...
    My 2010 110 had the speed limiter which if you got a decent downhill run it would violently jerk the car trying to keep the speed around the 137km/h mark however my new 2013 130 has no limiter from what I can gather....so does anyone else have a puma WITHOUT a remap that does not seem to have the limiter ?

    Could you feel the computer start holding the motor back by cutting in and out ? Or was it still smooth and could have kept going if there was enough road ?

    No power surges that I could feel, and I have hit a speed limiter before and know what it feels like.

    Could have easily gone further
