It depends. I wouldn't worry about it but it could be a dealer transfer and was brought in from elsewhere and that accounts for most of them.

I would say yes. It may have been test drove quite a few times. Or possibly a salesman took it home a night or two. Im no expert at this subject. Im sure someone on here will have a better answer.

Mine had 220km on it, but that's because it was a transfer.

I wanted a particular truck and the dealership had to go and find it on another lot since the order bank was already closed for my model year.

Mine had 120 +/- miles at delivery. Came from another dealer (about 55 miles away) and was also taken to the Line-X shop.

You are only sold a truck you decide to buy.

No not purchased yet but I just got home from signing paperwork for a purchase and saw this on the paper work. It kills me the guy didn't mention this also paper work had a purchase price of $650 more than we agreed to. I am buying this from a dealer that's 30 miles out of my state but a transfer has not happened yet.

So you haven't physically seen the truck?

Mine had 3 miles on it which made me more nervous than had there been 175! Granted it had just come off the transport truck and hadn’t even been parked on the lot yet. Yours has just been driven a few times, nothing to worry about.
