.... put about 60 highway miles on coming home from the dealer and the ride is very nice. I cant wait to pull the boat this weekend.

I would advise not to tow anything with your truck until the initial 500 mile break-in is done. In fact, even the manual states that.

I've been driving my truck all over the island so that it would be "ready" to tow my horses back home this Monday. She just turned 1000 and got her first oil change today. *sniff* I was so proud of her...she just sat there and didn't say a word while the mechanic was doin' his stuff to her....
