Factory testing

Mine had 10, but 14 after I test drove it

A random sampling of vehicles get run on the test track it has a shake part to test rattles a high speed section , whoops , theres also a French section for water leaks the track covers a little more then 20 miles...

16.2 miles on my 2020, here in Denver. Came straight from the rail yard, into my dealer's wash bay, and then parked at the dealer front door for me to drive away.

My first 19 had clay/mud splatter on the tailpipes. Difficult to wash off actually. Had 12 miles or so. Wondered the same thing.... Who drove this and where?

I saw on the interwebz that they do test drifting on some of them.

I was thinking that all the test truck odometers could be wound back by running in reverse lol

Straight from factory it should have <10 miles on it. They do a little test drive when it leaves the production line then they drive it to the rail head to be loaded. I was told by a friend who works at the rail head here in Oregon that the guys unloading vehicles when they arrive like to drive em around. They aren't supposed to but they do it any way. SPeciality vehicles like the Raptor are a favorite. Keep in mind this is totally hearsay from "a friend who knows a guy" sort of thing but if you have mystery miles it's a good bet thats where it happened.

My Dad was a longshoreman and the motivation was similar, but different. They got paid X number of hours to unload a ship. If they did it faster, they got to go home while being paid for the rest of the shift. Everyone happy - ships unloaded faster, etc.

He said that you could barely see in the hold of the ship for all the burning rubber and smoke. He always thought it was funny that people would baby their new cars so meticulously, but that first mile was a rough one.

They also tried to unload luxury cars from germany etc. that had shifted in heavy seas. All jackstrawed and banged up. Basically every car a write off. Pretty rough to see. At least they weren't raptors.

Mine came with 14 miles on it. 5 were mine as the only test pilot. Manager put a few on, I think.

My 2018 had 12 miles on it after sitting 6 months @ dealer & legit 12 miles on the Odometer when I took it for a test drive

Mine had 26 miles on it, and I special ordered it and picked it up the day it came off the truck. My salesman sent me this pic right after it was unloaded. It was filthy.
