Some information posted from other members. I'm going to go on some of scenic, non interstate routes and if on interstate not use cruise.

They advise against towing for the first 1200 miles. Below is from the manual:
No special break-in period is needed. By following a few simple precautions for the first 600 miles (1,000km) you may add to the performance, economy and life of your vehicle.
Do not race the engine.
- While driving, keep your engine speed (rpm, or revolutions per minute) between 2,000 rpm and 4,000 rpm.
- Do not maintain a single speed for long periods of time (cruise control), either fast or slow. Varying engine speed is needed to properly break-in the engine.
- Avoid hard stops, except in emergencies, to allow the brakes to seat properly.
- Don't tow a trailer during the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km) of operation.

It’s more important to break in the engine and not push it at a high speed. Most people drive slower when towing just don’t try to go 75mph+ and you will be fine. I recommend to try your best to let the engine warm up, gradually accelerate and decelerate as smoothly as possible, don’t go too fast and avoid hard breaking. A long trip is a great way to break in the engine over a bunch of small trips around town where you start and stop the engine. Don’t forget to check your tire pressure.
Car engine technology has come a long way, but cars still need to be broken in and driven cautiously for the first 500 miles. Learn how.
