Is there a break in period before I can tow?
I am buying a new 2017 f250 0 miles on Friday. We leave out for a 3 hour tow 8700 lb travel trailer 6 days after that. Is there a certain mileage I should but on this before hooking and towing?

I will also join the ranks of those who say, follow the owner's manual. That said, I wonder about new Class C RVs. They are brand new too. A manufacturer straps on a house to the chassis and then a hauler drives it sometimes 2,000 miles to the dealer. I doubt the hauler follows break-in recommendations.
You forgot that they often tow a trailer as well. Go to a RV show and you will find that dealers use "new" motorhomes to drag their trailers there.
Those that say things like "drive like you stole it" have no clue about how things work. Metal surfaces will mate better if allowed to run with little force exerted on them.
