hello all,
Can you tell me if im being paranoid or is there anything I should actually do?
TL;DR - I towed a 5K lbs trailer with my truck at 220miles on it for 40 miles or so, did I screw up or am I just over thinking it?
So this is my first truck, first new vehicle, etc and at the dealership my salesman told me I did not need to break in my truck before towing stuff. I didn't think to google to or check the owners manual to about a break in period so on day two of ownership a friend needed help getting a trailer towed to his home to get some work done and I offered to help.
Should I be concerned that I caused any issues or damage to the truck towing before the 1,000 mile break in period? Truck had about 220 miles on it at the time. It is a 3.5L with max tow. I didn't beat on the truck or drive it hard while towing. Trailer + kubota total weight was 5,000lbs or less. Round trip was about 40 miles total with some hills
I feel like the transmission shifts slightly harder or messier today at around 330miles but could that just be due to the break in period in general?
Am I being stupid and paranoid for no good reason and need to just chill out or is there a legitimate reason for concern?
Thank you all in advanced and my apologies for my stupidness here
