Drive it like ya stole it for the first 50-100 miles or so- that will really seat the piston rings. Then vary the RPMs as much as possible for the next couple hundred miles- easy to do with the paddles as jaz13 mentioned.

That's what I did when I drove my truck home from Indy. Used oil analysis showed good results.

This is from the generic 2017 F150 Owners Manual there was no specific instructions in the Raptor supplemental documentation so it would apply to both.

BREAKING-IN
You need to break in new tires for approximately 300 mi (480 km). During this time, your vehicle may exhibit some unusual driving characteristics. Avoid driving too fast during the first 1,000 mi (1,600 km). Vary your speed frequently and change up through the gears early. Do not labor the engine. Do not tow during the first 1,000 mi (1,600 km).
