question about towing with a new Diesel- any brand

The question I have is how many of you tow your trailers as soon as you take delivery... As apposed to those who wait the 500 or 1000 miles to break in ?? If a new vehicle comes in sooner or later...

My '12 Ford manual suggested waiting 500 miles. My '14 Ram manual says no need to wait at all, and actually recommends towing heavy within the first few thousand miles to help break it in!


The 500 mile break in is in the manual. It's in the 1500/2500/3500 section. Only the diesel supplement has the no break in-tow heavy for 6000 mile part.
