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...

...and how many contractors vehicles are loaded with a ton of tools and hooked to a 5,000# trailer and sent out to start producing revenue the day after they are bought. I've been in the construction industry for over 40 years and I can count on one hand the number of differential failures any of my subs have had during the life of their trucks. I'd say about the same average as the babied ones.

I'm not suggesting that you go against the manufacturers recommendations, just stating facts.
