I have broken the engine in. I have 1,000 miles on it, same oil. I'm just now ready to start towing with my new 2014 JGC Limited. I have the tow package and am adding a Prodigy P2 controller today.
My plan is to hook up my boat. It weighs under 1,200 lbs. and drive nicely around (under 50 Mph) town in 30 minute spurts with 15 minutes or so between for a cool down. Maybe 50-100 miles of this. Then I was planning to hook up my travel trailer which weighs 3,200 lbs. and do the same. After a few hours of that I was planning to take it on the interstate around our city and keep the speed to 50-55 Mph and run it for a hundred plus miles worth.
I'm getting ready for a 3,000 mile round trip tow with the 3,200 lb. trailer in heat and at high elevations. The first leg of which is 350 miles and I can keep the speed down then if I need to.
I just haven't seen much on first time towing and searches aren't productive trying to find information.
Anyone see any problem with my "breakin" tow?
