This info should be in your owners' manual. If I remeber correctly the Dodge was 500 miles. That was easy as we got the Dodge 3 months before the Monty.

On my GMC 07' they recommend 500 miles before towing and the first time towing, 500 at the speed of no more than 50 miles per hour.

Bud& Monty asked What does FORD recommend your mileage be on the new trucks, before towing with them?? "'.. Ford does not recommend what the mileage should be on Dodge or GM before you can tow with it. They do recommend 500 miles on the 08 FORD Diesel.
