With those gears in a light truck I'd expect pretty spritely performance but going any distance on the highway you'll have lots of engine noise and burn more fuel than with on overdrive.
You'd have no trouble going any legal speed in this country. 30 years ago a combination very similar to that would have been common in factory trucks which still perform well in use today.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | |
