Ford test drive mileage letter

[solsurfr]

Mine had 81 miles on it at delivery. No letter. My dealer did drive it from their other location to home then to his lot which was probably where the miles were added. No big deal to to me and it was clean as can be when I got it. Today it has 230+ miles on it which marks a full week under my ownership

BTW: what is the actual breaking period for this truck? I didn't catch it when I skimmed thru the manual.

There isn't a letter for test miles. It's a printed sticker that has a space where the write the miles in that is on the drivers window.

Our first order came in last night. The sticker said 28 miles but the truck had 74.7 miles on it.

There was a piece of paper in the truck that had "location C-28" written on it. So I'm assuming that was one of the storage locations.

Now I'm confused, why didn't the sticker read something like 70 miles assuming the remaining 5 miles may have happened if she was moved around lots during the trek from MI

Or a different way of asking, who put the other 50 miles on it and when

Break-in 1000-1500 miles.

Pg 290 of the OM

"You need to break in new tires for approximately 300 mi (480 km). During this time, your vehicle may exhibit some unusual driving characteristics.
Avoid driving too fast during the first 1,000 mi (1,600 km). Vary your speed frequently and change up through the gears early. Do not labor the engine.
Do not tow during the first 1,000 mi (1,600 km)."

There is probably a better spot to post this, I plan on starting to read up seeing as I have the time before my truck gets here. Online manuals so we don't have so many questions when we finally get our truck.

Edit: I've posted a new thread for this info.

Mine was delivered to dealership today. It has 167 miles on it and was told has a letter says for testing. I have not seen it myself. I have to leave town and can't even go pick up. My lucky wife is jumping with joy going to get today. If she doesn't lose the letter before I get home, I will send or post a copy next week.

Congrats... if I remember correctly u had one of the earliest eta's for delivery --- mine was close behind (10/28/16)...

Mine had 75.7 miles on it. No letter (I did t ask the dealer if they got it and took it out)... picked it up 3 days ago... it delivered last Thursday (after hours). I was out of town and had to wait to pick it up.

The mileage is from the transmission changes they were making.

akaia15 Yes mine was scheduled for delivery very early. Forget exact date. Hopefully what ever they fixed on mine it works. My wife just picked the truck up said their are stone chips and marks from lots of people obviously getting in and out of it. She said someone obviously had a ring on opening the door lots. The door plate she said has lots of scratches on it also from their shoes.
