will this damage my jeep
I am picking up my unlimited next week which is 4 hrs away. Ive heard your supposed to vary the speed during the first so many miles. Will constant 65-75mph damage the engine?
I was told only city driving for the first 500 miles but idk what you could do yo avoid it in that situation. I was also told to keep it under 55 MPH

I wouldn't worry about it. They had to drive mine from Philly to Baltimore, so it had over 110 miles on it when I picked it up, and I doubt they drove 55 or under the whole way. It's been fine so far.

Im just a paranoid freak when it comes to my first new vehicle 
As long as you dont drag race it for the first 3000 miles yours probably will last as long as mine or longer

I have been told that unless it is a high performance vehicle, there is no real break in anymore.
I would not drive it very hard but the highway speed will not affect it. I also would not use cruise control.
BTW JPWV, what happened with your pricing issue?

I tried to negotiate the two advertising charges off but they wouldnt budge. I ended uppayingFreiend and Family $26,111 which is 1% below invoice + 75 bucks vs. the msrp of 27,703.

I had to drive over 500 miles to get mine back home. Haven't seen any problems yet sitting at about 4500 miles. The jeep had like 75 miles on it when I picked it up (not too sure abou that). As long as you don't drive crazy, you will be fine.

I bought mine about 50 miles from where i live and i had to go on to a major interstate to get it home. I was going around 80 for a good part of the drive and I've had it for 6months now without a single problem other then the throw out bearing tsb
