Google has failed me! It said the newer ones were 137, but a 2018 like yours was 113.

Yes, and mine was a joke (or a poke) as well. But going that fast in a big ungainly truck with a high center of gravity and the wheelbase of a Civic is positively terrifying to me.

(google’s wheelbases of civic and lx570…) well the lx wheelbase is 5” more but your point is a good one.
This to me is a big reason why I still like sedans vs trucks. Big trucks like that just have a "ungainliness" that is uncomfortable when driving them day to day. The big sedan feels so much lighter and more responsive and easier to drive even though its just as long if not longer. Even the unibody GLS450 I had as a loaner a couple years ago for a week, I was very happy to get back into my sedan.
Finally got the Pacifica all cleaned up. My wife has been so busy showing houses and doing open houses it hasn’t been sitting around! Man of leisure here I come!

It definitely didn’t feel inspiring!! 5-6 miles in the drive I turned the dial to sport mode. Didn’t notice much difference. Only reason I was traveling that fast because my wife water broke!! I passed by a cop on side of road at 100mph with my hazards on and he/she never left that spot. Granted it like 2am so I was only vehicle on the road.

I have a hard time noticing a difference in anything other than suspension rebound with those modes. I think it might tighten the steering up a little.
And oh yeah, it's rated to go 137 lol. That is surprisingly fast. Like I said it's a fridge on wheels especially at those speeds but it still pulls fine past triple digits.
I forget what tires came on our LX from factory (Dunlops I believe) but it was prior to putting Michelin Defender LTX tires on (21 inch wheels). Never tried it on the Michelins.
