The manual says "at any legal speed". I have had it in 4H going 75 down the interstate when it is icy.

To answer the question, you can go however fast it will go. The "at any legal speed" part pertains to engaging 4hi.

I guess you'd have to live somewhere where there's actually ice to understand.
Highway + off-road tires + rwd + winter = less traction than any regular car on the road that can easily do the speed limit in winter conditions. Icy road doesn't necessarily mean a sheet of ice and that the entire place is going to turn into Atlanta. Sometimes 4wd is needed on patchy roads to keep up with everyone else

Either the guy is blowing smoke and trying to come off as Joe Cool or he should be featured on Worlds Stupidest Drivers.

Or maybe you meant a place like this?
No? How about this?
Ahhhh! You must mean this?
This?
This?
This?
Maybe this?
That California is all palm trees and beaches is a common misconception. There are places in California that boast temperatures well below zero every winter. In 2010 I experienced a blizzard that dumped 180 inches of snow in 5 days... in California. The season total for that year was 55 feet. Feet. So don't assume that just because I happen to reside in the "Sunshine State" I know nothing of driving on snowy, icy roads.
