I'm picking up my new 2025 Taco with 14 miles on the OD and will drive the 520 miles home. In the old days, people would say things like not go over some speed or engine rpm, don't drive long distances at constant speeds, try to avoid hard braking, drain the engine oil at 500 or 1000 miles. I asked my dealer and he said Toyota doesn't have any official break-in instructions. I googled and found this which is from another dealer and says a lot of what I wrote above. Seems like city driving would be best but unless I flatbed it to my house I have to drive the 520 miles, so practically speaking my plan would be to vary the speed between 60 and 75 and not floor it at stop lights. I'll want to change the engine oil at 1000 miles but I know the Toyota Care won't cover that (no big deal for me to do an early oil change to make me feel better).
