1,000 mile pre-tow break-in

[Edsel]

How firm is the 1,000 mile restriction? This car knows its mileage and it knows when a trailer is attached, will it squeal to Ford if I tow before the 1,000 mile break in? I am at 400 now, but am concerned about getting to 1,000 before I need to tow. My limit is 7,500 pounds and the trailer with loading won't be above 4000#.

I highly doubt it could "squeal to ford" you could have a number of things attached there, none of which are a trailer. But I imagine they want it broken in for 1000 miles because things are probably still getting seated and worn in. I wouldn't do it personally, but i had 1000 miles done in two weeks.
