We drove 250 miles to pick up our new Ranger. We called ahead and asked them how many miles were on the odometer... they said 27.

When we arrived it had 30 miles on the odometer... the fuel monitor display showed "Miles to E" as zero, and the warning bell was ringing that it was out of gas...

Mine had 26 miles on it when I picked it up. One possible explanation was that it was driven from the assembly plant to the train yard in Woodhaven. I know it did not sit at the dealer for more than 2 days, so other than someone test driving it as part of the PDI, I don't think that could be the mileage. It didn't have the sticker that said the factory did an extended drive either. I wasn't worried about it.

32 when it came in from the off site storage lot, 37 after they filled the tank.

My Mustang had 18 (before my 46mi test drive ;) ) 68 on delivery after it got gassed up.

Unrelated to the mileage, but do your dealers charge for fuel? Most of the dealerships I had quotes from had between $50 and $80 on the quote for fuel.

I got a full tank...free of charge on my purchase of both my Lincoln MKX and my Ranger. I expect nothing less when you are purchasing a new vehicle. Sat that this is going the way of the airlines, where you have to pay for your luggage...

At the dealer I used to work for it was free but I guess not anymore. I got mine knocked down some while negotiating but couldn’t get rid of it altogether!

That’s what we always did at the dealerships I’ve worked for in the past... usually a new vehicle came with a full tank and a used vehicle came with a 1/2 tank.

Hi Doc,

Hopefully the dealer adjusted your tire pressure for the tires.
