Don't know about your F350, but my Chevy, brand new, recommended no towing for the first 500 miles.... Oops! After I towed (almost from the first day, to the first 1000 miles) I eventually found that warning in the owners manual. Well ... she's still running just fine after 3 years.

Probably had just enough in it to get it out of the factory. DUH!
Live and learn. Intervals between DEF fill up did get longer and longer. No problem now!
