The odometer on my truck has less mileage than the trip meter...

 

2/10th's of a mile... long assembly line!!

 

My brother used to work for the the rail company putting new cars on trains. He said some cars have a sticker on the dash about the odometer not being activated yet..until delivery. So if ford does this those .2 miles could be from driving on and off trains/trucks.

 

Mines off as well, noticed it when i got the truck. I'm wondering if the trip meter is set to 0 from the dealer or exiting testing. I've seen videos of fords process and when they exit the assembly line they have people test driving them on a short course for any issues mainly noises that shouldn't be, they drive over bumps and stuff for testing.

 

reset it, it'll be all right.

 

It could have come from loss of power. I pulled the odometer to upgrade my cluster to the 8" version, and when I found out I wasn't going to be able to correct the mileage on the new cluster I put the old one back in. Truck never moved but the odometer went from 3562.1 before it was removed to 3562.5 after I plugged it back in.

 

I just noticed the title says How could this new? Should have been How could this be?

Thanks for the input. I just thought it odd but it appears that it's not that uncommon.

 

Mine was like that when I got it but it has actually evened out in the past 14,000 miles. I just noticed it the other day.

 

You just made me go back to the top and re-read it. I thought it said "How could this be New?"
I probably would have never noticed if you hadn't said anything
