Default BReak in before flat towing

Our new Cherokee Trailhawk should be here at the end of the week. We are leaving on vacation in three weeks. We will be flat towing it behind out motorhome.

Does anyone know if there is a recommended break in before flat towing?

I have read the online manual, I could not find anything. I also asked the dealership and they had no thoughts.

Thanks for your thoughts.

People never cease to amaze me.

You can afford a vacation.
You can afford a motor home.
You can afford a $40K Trail Hawk.

But you cannot afford one of these-

Why buy a trailer when you can put tons of stress and undocumented miles on your trailhawk? Lol

Weight of trailer would overload my Class A RV. It can only pull 5,000 pounds trailhawk and trailer would exceed that
