Test drive at the factory

[Craig66]

It took me a couple weeks to notice this on the inside of the back window. The backseat headrest was blocking it from view. I just thought it was unusual since I’ve never seen something like that on a new vehicle.

This is not unusual. Others have reported receiving this posted on their Maverick since 2022. It is nice to know that the factory does test some vehicles off the assembly line.

Normal. I had one in my late 2023. 45 miles on mine.

I wish they would test them all for 25-40 miles in the cold weather and see if they have the clicking noise on what sounds like the passenger side of My dash on My 2025 Maverick.

They did a 15 mile test drive on ours.

Note, what ever the miles on that sticker the warranty is increased by that mileage.

Ditto, mine said 35 miles!

They randomly select a vehicle for quality control.
Every assembly plant does this
My guess is the mileage is dependent on how far a donut shop is or whatever else they want to eat

They probably drove it around the test track that's right next to the factory pictured below.

they use them for taco runs - there is no cold weather in Mexico

Hmmmm! A cold Taco in Mexico is 50-110°F depending on time of year.

My 2023 Ford Maverick Lariat indicated 39 miles on the test drive sticker they placed at the rear window. I never removed it.

They've been doing that since (at least) the 1980's.

Makes sense. That's how long quality has been Job 1 at Ford (supposedly).
