500-1000 miles. althouht i thought this was kinda redunet, cause tell you to drive it all kinds of ways, fast, slow, hard,and easy. you want the truck to break in to your driving habits. so seems to me if you going to tow alot you want to break it in towing. but ford says to wait so i wait.....
It's not the motor that you really need to worry about before towing persay, it's the tranny. Give the tranny some time to get the gears and such to mate properly, your tranny will thank you!

Also the clutch packs in the tranny need "seated".
got a 05 250 and with 350 miles hooked up the trailer and put another truck on about 7000# total and hauled a** about 80 mph down the interstate and got 14 MPG and we use that know to tow all kinds of stuff usually never under 10000#. truck has 21000 miles now and have had since Aug.

are you saying that 350 miles is your break in? i noticed thats a 250 does it call for a break in? do you do all your trucks this way with no problems?
It really doesn't matter what tranny you have there is a reason for the reccomended break in time....It really does make a difference in tranny longevity.
