If doing you includes spreading misinformation, I'll do me by calling you out on it.
Performing engine break in period (breaking in) during long delivery roadtrip?
Break in procedure for the Ranger. There’s no reason to believe the Bronco break-in process will be any different. The most important thing is to vary the engine RPM, and vehicle speed.
Look man... I said “i think”... of which you said “Not at all correct. I never seen that recommended by anyone. Ever.”... of which in part It was.. I just got the numbers wrong... you then focused on the 45mph... yeah.. I was off a bit... but said I wasn’t sure on my numbers... and others replied back that the break in period was indeed on this forum... by two different sources.... I am not giving misinformation... and I never claimed to be an expert... I then also linked the links... you are being pretty harsh... but if that makes you feel good about yourself... saving Bronco6G from someone that made one comment that wasn’t exactly 100% correct... but never claimed to be... then go right ahead and wear your 6G cape... because you have a lot of work to do on this forum based on other threads I have read that had way more egregious claims and errors...
... and I went ahead to change my original quote so it’s more accurate... you can move on to saving the day somewhere else... thanks...

Haha. I like how you rebutted it as false before even trying to research it.
It is a thing, by the way.

45 mph for 2000 miles? Not anybody with a modicum of sense.
Speed does not matter, load, rpm, throttle input matters.

So I'm new to manuals and plan on getting my Bronco with one. Under the section Brakes and Clutch, avoid using the clutch is confusing, you need to use the clutch to shift. Does it mean to avoid shifting too much for the first 100 miles?Break in procedure for the Ranger. There’s no reason to believe the Bronco break-in process will be any different.

This is super important to you huh?
Wow passionate about the proper break in rules of an engine..
I bet you’re amazing at parties..?
I've never heard of anything like that either. I just did a google search as well and can't find anything. RPMs limits are most of what I've seen and none were close to the RPM you'd be at running at 45mph.
I'd be curious to see manufactures that reccomend it.
Even if it is a thing, who the hell would stay under that speed, unless they never left town?

Typical break-in is 500 miles. 1,000, max. But I'd love to know what engines you've built to make you an expert on engine break-in. Because I'd be happy to share mine. And I have more than a modicum of sense.
Also, you're accurate in that speed indeed doesn't matter and RPMs do. But I'd argue people tend to rev to high RPMs to get to speed. And with a turbo (or two) under your pedal, I'd imagine most people are going to not tread lightly for their engine break-in.

I'm just going to quote myself from a previous post so I don't have to explain it twice.
try not to do drop clutch starts or the equivalent of launch control starts.
so, don't rev to 6000 rpm and then drop the clutch into first gear.
save the drag track until after the first 1000 miles

Thank you much appreciated ??
I wonder since it has a digital tac, it will automatically have a lower redline and then change to it's normal redline after the break-in period. The new Corvette has that feature and seems pretty useful.

Why is there so much obsession over a break in period? Manufacturers sell millions of cars every year and people put those cars on the freeways 5 times a week at 65mph for 30 minutes each way. Use some common sense, don’t floor it, don’t rev it, drive it nice. Don’t sit at 65mph for 3 hours straight, speed up a little, slow down a little. It isn’t rocket science people.
The ring and pinions in the diffs usually have a break in period as well to prevent work hardening of the gear teeth. Putting loads on the new teeth and high gear oil temperatures are your enemy during the first 500 miles.
After the first 20 miles pull over and let the gear oil cool. For the next 100 miles try to stay under 65 mph. Don't put heavy loads on the gears (especially by towing) until you hit 500 miles. At this point all the microscopic high spots on the gear interfaces should be smoothed out with little localized work hardening.
