Delivery Mileage - How much is too much?

[Musicalfisherman]

Most come in with 4-6 miles, dealer is supposed to put a couple on doing PDI, so 6 would be common. However, some come in with more, some have 10, some are picked for test drive at the plant and have 20-50, and once in a while (although very rare) we'll see 100ish miles. This could be more likely on the early build units. If they are on quality hold, they can be driven several times to move them for storage and repairs. Look at the F-150's being stored in Dearborn right now as an example.

As to the Fordpass, it won't work, vehicle will be in transport mode, that turns off all the power draws to keep them from needing jump starts.

It worked for the other poster. And the vehicle has got to be powered on to drive on and off the transport vehicle. All I know is I’m gonna do it!

Two more data points, the Sports that were just delivered to my local dealership had 28 and 7 miles on them when they took pictures. They could’ve been driven a bit before pictures, but that tells me it’s not unreasonable to want it under 10.

Fwiw, the cars have a 'factory mode' that disables certain features to prevent battery drain. It will be disabled manually or automatically after 125 miles are driven. I don't know if the odometer resets at this point or not, I'm guessing no.
