My Ford tow vehicles ranged from 1992 through 2005 so maybe it's different on the newer ones. The manuals for mine all said 500 miles before towing. So that's what I did.
This Dodge manual also says 500 miles but then it adds that the first 500 miles of towing should not exceed 50 mph so the rear end will break in properly. We did 465 miles before I got fed up with that speed.
One thing that was mentioned in the Dodge manual but not my Ford manual that I think still applies to all brands is to not switch to synthetic oil until at least 30,000 miles. Dodge says switching earlier will prevent or delay engine breakin. So I waited.
Good luck with your new truck. Those are really nice.
