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?

Two things. First, manufacturing tolerances are light years better than they were years ago. There is little need to “wear in” the parts. They are right from the start.
Second, look at the tens of thousands of contractor trucks on the road. Many contractors get a new fleet pickup, hook up an overweight trailer on day one and tell a laborer to get to the 30 minute away job site in 20 minutes.
Rarely have I seen a failure in the 39 years I’ve been a licensed general contractor. And when they do, warranty has covered the problem.
