My build date was 5/30/2017 I purchased it on 6/19/2017, and the mileage after my test drive was 9 Miles......I think I must have been the only person to test drive it.... Factory Fresh

Quality control... Mine came with 50 miles I believe.
As for the EPA ratings, I don't believe that the vehicles tested are sold to the public after. They are tested way more than a few miles. They run inside a factory and on the roads for several days and are put thousand and thousand of miles.

Mine had around 250 or 275 miles when I got it. However, my dealership grabs new vehicles to use as loaners if they need one.....when mine was in for service, they gave me a 2018 to drive. I think it had 9-11 miles when I took it. It had 300 when I returned it.
I guess I got my miles back!!!

Forgot about dealer prep, I don't know if they still do it, when I worked at a dealer we were paid so much to prep a new vehicle in, removing all the delivery protection plastic as well as a test drive to make sure there were no NVH concerns usually a 2 mile test, 1 mile out and back.

My truck was a S.O.
I made it very clear I didn't want anyone driving it. Had 5.3 miles on it.

If you ever get the chance, do the factory tour of the Dearborn truck plant - you will see them doing the QC. Every truck gets inspected by a robot to check gaps, etc. A few get pulled for human inspection, and they get driven around outside for QC as well.

didn't they used to put a sticker on the trucks that were selected for QC? i remember seeing one next to the window sticker a few years back.
