    What’s the mileage that’s the hypothetical breaking. On these new trucks? And things I should do during the break-in and or right after?

    I followed the same "break-in" guide on my 23 Tundra as I have previous new vehicles.
    1. Easy acceleration and avoid sudden braking for the first 500-1000 miles
    2. Vary the RPM and speed during the first 1000 miles (avoid using cruise control)
    3. Avoid redline, but I always would gradually increase how high I rev'd as I got closer to 1000 miles
    4. Change the oil at 1000 miles
    5. Avoid farting in your new seats for first 500 miles (I always break this rule)

    I agree, but I don’t think it’s always followed. Just seeing what other people are doing or have done
