Sounds about right for an 0609 Cargo. Mine takes its time to get up to speed and then runs nicely around 45 to 50 mph. Perhaps your back axel has a fairly low ratio which could have some effect on top speed. Was your vehicle a tipper in a previous life as they often had low ratio axels for the type of work they were involved in.
