break in miles

I'm about to get my 4th diesel truck .I would llike to know the average miles that people put on there trucks before towing . I've put on as little as 300 miles and hooked the 5er up . That was my last one a 08 6.4 f-250 it has been great except the fuel mileage 11.0 empty the only problem the brakes hung up on it .

I think the manual says 500 before towing but 1000 is what I've been hearing from all my co-workers that have diesels. I should cross the 1000 tomorrow.

I'm a bad boy, I just got an '11 12 days ago. I towed our camper with 140 miles on the odo.

I picked it up on Friday afternoon and we left Saturday. Now my truck has about 1700 miles on it. We just got back home yesterday.

I'm a little nervous, a little dis-appointed with myself but I think the truck is fine. It was only a travel trailer weighing in at around 7500 lbs.
