Towing

Hi I just bought a new 2024 Ram Sport I was just wondering do I to break it in alittle before I tow my 5200 lb rv?

Welcome from Ontario, Canada.

Personally, I would put 2K to 3K on it, then change the oil & filter before I started towing.
Give everything a chance to break & seat in first.

There is a ton of info on this forum on how to maintain your truck and things to be aware of, too.
A big thing is oil and filter; consider 5W30 Pennzoil Ultra Platinum and the FRAM XG2 oil filter as we can get it locally for a good price (usually).

Enjoy your new truck!

Minimum 500 miles of moderate driving before any towing so the ring & pinion can break in.

I would definitely do a break in period before adding strain to the engine and transmission. I know when I installed new gears they said a min of 500 miles of light easy driving for break in. Change fluid, then good to go.

It's in your owners manual under 'Engine Break-in'.
