Mine had 11 when I drove off... Had to put 400 miles on it driving home though :) A nice way to get to know the truck!

most have some mileage. some are used for demonstration, or displays etc. you have to remember the dealership is supposed to PDI and that usually adds a couple miles. as someone that is in and out of new vehicles all day long, i say most on the lot that have been ordered direct to a dealer have about 4 miles, and the graphic pkg trucks have to go to an upfitter near the plant that adds a few miles to it. most of the ones with a few hundred miles are either dealer trades, or someone took it home for a little while.

Hey there! Just joined!

Just bought my 2012 Raptor today! Had about 80 miles on it. Sounds about right as the salesman said it had somehow managed to survive on the lot for 6 days. I was shocked to see it there. I haven't seen one on a lot since 2010. He said a guy actually passed on it because it was red. I think it was just waiting for me.

I would never buy a brand new car or truck that has more than 10 miles on the odometer. I saw some new Raptor even has 200+ miles on it. 200 miles are equal to entire weekly commute.

I have no control how many miles dealer can put in a new Raptor. However, I have control on my money either I will buy it or not.

8.3 when I inspected it on the lot and then 11.8 when it was made ready and delivered to me outside the front door of the dealership.

I think less dealerships do it now, but back in early 10, the dealerships wouldn't let you drive the truck unless you were ACTUALLY buying it. Its like that with most SVT even AMG, and ///M cars. We didn't get a test drive until the deal was set. So mine had right around 2 miles on it.
