What is the truck’s top speed?

It’ll do 65 mph or more on a flat road.

What motor is in it?

I believe it is a Detroit 6V92.

Could the truck be driven 600 miles, or would it need to be trailered?

We've never had any issues with it, though we've never driven it outside our county. I think it should be fine for a 600-mile drive.

What is the horsepower rating?

I don't know the horsepower rating for this particular engine.
