Per the owners manual on my 15, there is no break in period at all. It can be used to tow day one.
We just went to Tennessee this past weekend and it was the first time I've locked out 6th with the cruise on, it does make it better in the hills. Every other trip it'll cruise at 65-68mph in 6th. I'm still amazed at the power every time we go out.
Copy/Paste from your manual:
CAUTION!:
Do not tow a trailer at all during the first 500 miles (805 km) the new vehicle is driven. The engine, axle or other parts could be damaged.
Then, during the first 500 miles (805 km) that a trailer is towed, do not drive over 50 mph (80 km/h) and do not make starts at full throttle. This helps the engine and other parts of the vehicle wear in at the heavier loads.
Probably not a big deal but there is a break in period.
