All I recommend is you run it for about 250-500 miles on the factory fill and put the correct Ford spec'd oil (5w40) afterwards.
Do not use API CK spec oils that aren't Ford Approved. Most CK oils do not protect engine against wear and Ford has a special bulletin about the topic.
Good luck with your new ride and happy towing!

Being that I have a CDL, I kinda know this but thanks. 1K wait? mainly b/c this truck is so smart, it actually knows when you hookup a trailer and on my Ford-Trucks.com site, it is highly recommended to do this wait, hence the Mfgr has nothing to void any potential warranty claims on the engine. But I had this minor debate already on that forum, I just said oh well, I shall follow that rule of thumb then.
