New Car Break-In Process

Scotty, 

I just ordered a 2022 Chevy Colorado V6, auto, RWD. Are there any additional break-in procedures I should do, besides what the owners manual states? Want to make the truck last a while. 

Thanks

You really don’t have to worry about break-in for modern engines:

Why did you pick a Chevy Colorado?

No break-in process is needed.

I'm pretty sure the only thing Scotty says to do for the break-in period on a modern engine is not use cruise control for the first 1,000 miles. You want a good range of higher and lower RPMs to get everything set in, especially the piston rings.
