Clifford the Big Red Truck, an F150 Story

[Jake]

That parking job is impressive. At this point in technology, there is no way a manufacturer is going to sell a vehicle that needs any kind of break in other than normal driving. You think non-car people give a shit about a break in period?

They do say to avoid towing for the first 1,000 miles and apparently that's so the ring gear in the diff can break in/seat or something? Kinda blew it there given I towed my trailer off their lot with 95 miles on the odometer. Should have 600 miles or so before VIR at least.

Hell, Taylor is a car people and openly admitted that he doesn't care about break-in. I think OEMs have to expect that, and the materials used nowadays are certainly more advanced than those in the 70s/80s.
