LOL, I guess I will be the Guinea for all you guys.

Picked up my pickup two weeks ago at the dealer, drove home 35 miles and immediately hooked up to a 15,000 pound trailer. I have about 650 miles on the pickup so far and about 400 of that has been pulling trailers. I am a Farmer and this is also my work truck so don't have any choice in that matter since we are in the middle of Spring work.

By the way, there is no break in period recommended for Farm equipment any longer. They actually want you to take new pieces of machinery home and work it like it will be worked throughout it's life. They don't want you to baby them anymore. It used to be you were supposed to take it easy for the first 50 hours.

I'm not saying you should not follow Ford's recommendations. Just that it is not practical for everyone.
