They are work trucks as well. I'm sure they get loaded up with gear and a trailer from the start all the time. These work trucks see more milage in month then most and they're doing just fine. Break it in how your going to use your truck and it well never let you down.

I just hit 20,000 miles on my 2011 towing a trailer from mile 11 and I just read about this in the manual.
Oh well, I did notice that over the course of the first oil change interval I added over 2 quarts of oil. 2nd change was about 2 quarts, 3rd was a bit less, and now I don't think I have needed to add in awhile.
You think this has to do with the break in?

When you`re working with a trailer behind you everyday ,can`t wait till the truck has a thousand mile on it !!! Right of the dealer we go with trailer and that`s the way it is for years now....never had a problem with engine tranny or diff, I can`t follow each of my guys to see how they drive my trucks!!
My f 150 are TRUCKS made for working as soon as they leave the lot, don`t have time to baby a thousand mile...

Bingo! My truck will be put to work pulling a trailer with at least 5,000lbs, the day after i buy it. Its what i did with my GMC i have now and its been a great truck with over 80,000 on the clock.

I towed a 6k boat for couple hours at around 500 miles. It smelled like a bitch with the new truck burning off random stuff smell. The truck actually exploded when I tried to put the boat into the water, caught the oil slick on top of the lake on fire, caused a state emergency, killed all wildlife in a 37 mile radius, and northern NH is now a wasteland.....
But seriously, no issues yet
