You probably have the wrong size wheels and or tires for your speedometer gear. Here is more input: * I would suspect someone has installed tires that are the incorrect size. Check the correct original equipment size. For example, on a Ford Ranger the tires and wheel is 225/70-15. I would suspect it has a tire smaller than this. Install the correct size tires.

The speedometer in a car runs based off the speed of the transmission. The gears in the transmission spin at a known rate for the speed the vehicle is traveling at. The faster the gears spin the more the speedometer goes up. If a person replaces stock tires with larger tires, then the tires will spin slower, which will cause the speedometer to read at a value that is less than the actual speed.
