Not at our store, any sold vehicle is processed as per the customer request and we do not allow the keys out of the service department and salespersons hands until delivered...

This way the ones responsible for the customers vehicle is in control...

Last time I ordered a new vehicle from Ford, versus buying off the lot, it was delivered with 21 miles on the odometer. I would expect he same for my new Bronco and I think that's reasonable.

Anything more than 2 miles is ridiculous, and more than needed to put it on and take it off a trailer. If it can't be delivered to my dealership then why should I use them? If it has to be driven from one dealer to another, give me the choice to go get it! No need for anybody else to drive it, end of story!!!!!!!

DId you read any of this thread? Not likely to get anything less than 2 miles. Hopefully it's not actually the end of the story for you.

Tell them to keep their dealer logos off too.
Yep. Once they slipped one on by "accident". First thing I did was get the hairdryer on it, cut the tape with dental floss, then Goo Gone the rest...

Isn't there also a transport mode that doesn't record mileage?

Especially a Ferris Bueller type of joy ride. I would want to avoid having my new Bronco bashed around on some test drive, or on a manual model someone clashing the gears before I got it.

I worked at a Union Pacific railroad car unloading facility for 5 years.
Therefore I cannot confirm nor deny what you posted. but , yeah.

.......When ordering our Broncos, should we expect the odometer to be really low (like less than 10)? ......
While I agree with you, if I am waiting for over a year for my Bronco and I see 25,37, etc miles I would be asking for free oil changes or one of the 200 accessories for free.

Basically speaking, whenever a Ford has over 10 miles, it should have a QC assurance sticker on it.

Cool. So I would get a sticker.
My new Jeep had 7 miles at delivery.
Full tank of gas included.

ETA: I've seen as few as 3 miles on the odometer leaving the final destination rail yard lot.
