5 seconds to 88miles per hour is not bad.

It's pretty good for a gas car, but pretty slow for an EV. I don't know about pickup trucks though, they're probably on the longer end of gas.
For an average commuter car maybe. Trucks like this are built for towing and have a shit-ton of torque. Which is really good for fast acceleration, not so much for top speed though.
So I own a 350, I do need it for work though lol, I haul things on an almost daily basis. Anyways, these trucks are usually governed at 96mph. It’s diesel so I get pretty good mileage on the highway, 400+ mi per tank. I do have to fill up about once a week though. Driving cross country, AZ-AL, I only had to fill up 4x.
