It's the TIRES. The 18" tires that you get on specific models are NOT rated to go any faster than 118 miles per hour!

Once you get the 19's on there the tires are rated much higher at 155 mph. that is why the LS and 1LT is speed limited that low.

Took this from another thread.

The 2LT has base 19s anyway so it would be set to 155 regardless
