I am picking up my 2023 (at msrp) about 500 miles away from home. That was about the closest dealer selling what I wanted without a markup. It also took me calling someone that far away to actually be treated like a human for having the audacity to try to buy something at sticker.
I am familiar with break in procedures and how you shouldn't just stay at idle for hours or even a steady highway speed for hours. Unfortunately, that's what my trip home will mostly consist of. Am I overthinking it to take the trip a bit slower and take random stops to drive some side roads to vary load/speed?
I should point out that I am coming from a 2019 F150 3.5 Lariat that I bought new and has needed the cam phaser rebuilt amongst many other issues. I don't have a ton of faith in Ford....so of course doubling down and getting a Raptor was the only logical choice
Just trying to avoid any potential self inflicted damage where I can.
