The Odyssey is rated around 110 I think, but it's pretty scary to be going 95 in one.

The T-100 felt rock steady at 105-mph on the salt.It had nearly a 50-50 weight distribution and isn't as tall as many contemporary pickups.
She's essentially zero-lift according to the wind tunnel,which validates Goro Tamai's comment about the stability of half-bodies.
And she's very stable in crosswind and gusts.
I suspect Aerostealth's F-150 can shrug off many issues which would plague a garden variety pickup.
