During my test, the vehicle ran perfectly for 40/50 miles. After this, you could increase your speed if only using partial acceleration. If using the passing gear, it would roar (as with increased rpm) but would not increase speed. On other occasions, the pickup was random: i.E, the passing gear would work or not and nothing would increase speed.
