What would be the reason for excessive mileage on my bronco from the factory. It had 100 miles on it when it arrived at the dealer. Any ideas? @Ford Motor Company

Back and forth from the storage lots for parts after build and/or dealer drove it before you took delivery.

Mine had 112 and two iPhones connected to it. Dealer blamed the transportation sub contractors and said it was common. 🤷‍♂️ Release email from Ford said 6 miles on it.

if you are off-road selected, they put a note on the back of drivers side window. i had 100+ miles and was happy, not one problem and they gave it a shake-down.

I thought it was in an email but I can’t find it. I know I saw 6 miles somewhere though. wifey agrees. Either way was very surprised when it had 106 more on it. 😂

I see them driving on roads in Michigan out of the factory to storage lots (one I saw had to been at least 10-12 miles away one way), I always wondered if the miles start adding up or if there’s some type of factory mode where it doesn’t start counting miles.

mine had 139 miles at delivery and I was lucky enough to be there when they took it off the truck so it was all factory miles….I glanced at the odometer for a second and then said “who do I make the check out to” and I never looked back!!

This. ^^^^^

Don't overthink it. Appreciate your good fortune you have your rig, go out there and pull the top off, and drive it.

My Bronco had 6 miles on it for reference. 100 seems excessive. But mine was built and delivered within a week and a half of being built. Yours might have been built and then was shuffled between lots waiting for chips and other parts. That's the only thing I can think of. 🤔
