Depends on the vehicle and also whether or not your
definition of "safe" includes such hazards as speeding
tickets.
e.g. the Porsche Cayenne Turbo will hit 160 mph easy, and
has a suspension that can keep it between the white
lines at that speed.
On the other hand, in a traditional 4x4 without ride height
control, I'll be darned if I'll risk much over 80 mph.

Re: highway speed in full time 4X4?
I think the real question is not what is the max safe speed, but rather what
speed would you want to go in 4WD? The problem being that connecting all of
that stuff to the engine costs lots of gas, and if you can go so fast as to
be concerned that you are hurting anything, I think you should be wondering
if you can get better mileage at that speed if you shifted into 2WD.

I figure if I'm in 4wd, 55mph is plenty fast. That's as fast as I'll go, if
i find the need to use 4wd, and the conditions are right.
