For those that ordered their truck, how many miles were on it when you took possession?

I didn't special order mine, but I did get a new 21' from the dealer and it had 33 miles on it after I test drove.

Mine was a pre-order by the Dealer and I bought it while it was still being assembled at the factory. 35 when I took possession of it which was after I tested it and the Dealer had prepped it.

33km/20 miles

Mine had 12 miles on it

Picked mine up new from dealer inventory. After my test drive, had 40 miles on it.

Hi Folks,

There are several type of drives done on a sample of vehicle...most common are plant drives where the plant QC folks evaluate a vehicle...mileage varies but is around 25 to 30 or so. Likely there is no sticker to indicate this as it is within limits of a "new" truck. Then there are launch drives done by Dearborn engineers and Engineering Drives for assessing a problem for example...we were limited to 75 miles and we carried a roll of stickers that explained the evaluation and extended the warranty by the indicated mileage which we put on the vehicle. If we went over 75 miles, which happened on rare occasions, then we Truck Engineering, had to buy the vehicle and the plant put in place another duplicate vehicle order. Most time we did really did not want or need the over 75 mile vehicle and it was sent to a wholesaler or auction...

Hope this makes sense...

best,
Phil

Hello Phil,
My truck came off the transport with somewhere between 30-33 miles. Asking the Dealer about why the mileage...they said that every vehicle is tested before it is shipped. Is this correct or are only a few randomly selected vehicles tested? Couldn't find any documenation in the paperwork about mine being tested.

Thanks,
Paul

Over the 6 or 7 new vehicles I've bought all have had between 13 and 30 miles on them.

Doug,
Were those miles right off the transport or after testing and Dealer prep when you took possesion?

After prep, including my test drive, and possibly others.

None were ordered. The 13 was my '17 FiST, 30 was my wife's CX-5, think my WRX had 17, and my Ranger was low 20s. Can't recall the rest.

Don't forget mileage can rack up during transport. Depending on the size of the rail yard and the layout your truck could see 5-10 miles there alone.

Is there a problem with your truck?
