They're more concerned about running high RPMs than cruising around at 75 mph. Stay off the dragstrip and you'll be fine.

It's basically broken. Time to trade it in before the problems start.

You're fine.

I've only got 100 miles on my 2022 Maverick, Engine replaced Monday. Guess I need to do this again as well!

Don't over think it. As long as you are not pedal to the floor off every stop, you will be fine. Cruising at 75-80 mph won't be a problem.

That's it's done for. I'll give you $7,000 for it.

I heat cycled my Ecoboost for the first 50 miles. Getting it up to normal 4 bar temp then shutting it off for a cool down. After I got it up to three bars on the temp gage I’d drive it just a few miles.
Then from 50 to 500 miles I drove it, ‘Briskly, frisky like.
All over the tach but mostly below 3,500 rpm with some excursions to 4,500 rpm

After that, the next 500 miles I drove it like I stole it.
Then settled down after 1,000 miles
At 3,000 it got a fresh load of Full Synthetic.

My Truck, My way, same way I took a 2.7 Ltr Tacoma to 528,000 trouble free miles.

I wouldn't worry about it.

I drove from Dallas/Fort Worth to St. Louis MO and back the week I bought my 24 Lariat Hybrid and it had less than 20 miles on it when I picked it up. I did 70-75 the whole way. I just avoided accelerating hard to pass and such. I had no issues and it's got 20k on it now.

The only break in I did was to take it sorta easy for a few hundred miles. Basically the only thing I did was let it warm up some before I took off.

it's totaled.

Same,and i didn't tow anything until I had about 1000 miles on it.

Not necessary

It’s probably going to blow up next week…just kidding, you’ll be fine. I’m a believer in making it work during break-in. Don’t beat on it, but make it work under a load to seat everything.

When I rebuilt the engine in my tractor, I ran it for a few minutes to warm up, then dropped a plow in the ground to put a load on it and seat the rings. With my Maverick, it just so happened my first real freeway run (70-75 mph) didn’t occur until about 1,000 miles. Until then, I just drove it how I planned on driving it on a daily basis. If I needed to run on the freeway before their “break-in period,” I wouldn’t have hesitated.
