I just leased a new 1500 Laramie, and read I read in the owners manual to not tow till it has 500 miles on it. Then, when towing for the first time, to not exceed 50 mph for these miles. The way I read it, when I first tow my camper on the interstate, I can't go over 50 mph, for 500 miles? Is this correct?
Thank you!
• Do not tow a trailer at all during the first 500 miles (805 km) the new vehicle is driven. The engine, axle or other parts could be damaged.
• Then, during the first 500 miles (805 km) that a trailer is towed, do not drive over 50 mph (80 km/h) and do not make starts at full throttle. This helps the engine and other parts of the vehicle wear in at the heavier loads.
