Great way to drive a truck you dont own, especially when its breaking in... No rev limiter, it shifts when it shifts
Well . . . technically it has a rev limiter, but no different one for a break-in period. It's set to run the same right out of the factory as it will 50,000 miles later (if left unaltered).
Also, keep in mind the Ecoboost doesn't need a lot of revs to put out gobs of power and torque like the naturally aspirated engines do.
Regarding the breaking in period, I've driven plenty of these from the rental car lots and they have all been fine, and the police buy gobs of them as well . . . and I'm sure none of them were broken in nicely. I'm a fan of breaking them in nicely and do it when driving a new-ish vehicle, even when the manual says it is unnecessary. Most folks don't care and they seem to hold up fine.
Test drives are so you can see what the vehicle can do,I only held it for a few gears.I bought the truck and will pick it up monday.My 2016 revved to almost 6000rpms
