When to tow?

I am sure it tells you in the owners manual but I would like some opinions on how soon can you with a new truck. I only have 750 miles on my 09 S/C 4X4 Lariat but I need to tow a old Mustang on a trailer about 20 miles. Is it to soon to tow?

Go for it - manual says 500 miles, varying speeds. I had barely 300 on my '05 before I hooked onto a 10K fifth wheel for 200 miles. I just took it easy, no problems. However, I change the oil at 1000 miles on a new vehicle, and again at 3000, towing or not. After that, manufacturers recommended intervals.
