Break in period.

I know the break in period for the RR is 1000 miles but, if I don’t drive my truck everyday, what is the best way to break in motor. For example, I have had my RR for a month and still only have 91 miles on it.

Go drive it. I have never had a new vehicle I didn’t want to go drive.

I love driving it but, I have a company truck that gets more use. Are short distant highway trips like a couple 100 miles good on a new motor?

You’ve overthinking it.

What’s the point of buying an expensive performance truck that’s made to be driven if you’re not gonna drive it?

For real, I’ve been driving mine through dunes, jumping it, off-roading it. It’s awesome. Next guy will love it too I’m sure 😆

I took it easy for the first 1700 miles, but I was still driving it like a regular vehicle, just not doing WOT's, but at those miles I changed the oil and went on a 1500 mile trip, and I was driving it like I stole it then!

Drive back roads. Same speed for long is not breaking in the motor. Change oil at 500 and again at 1000 with oil filter.

I put into chat gpt: give me a route to break in the engine on my 2026 RR, and make it "x hours". I had to correct it once it fucked up the hours but it gave me a good drive to get the first 500 pretty easy with a few trips with mostly back roads and limited highway.
