Received my Maverick with 7 miles on the odometer. 5+ hours on the hours meter

I received my Maverick with 7 miles on the odo and more than 5 hours on the hours meter. What would require 5 hours of run time?
What did your display say when you got your Maverick?.

mine had over 3 miles showing but didnt think to look at the hour counter.

How much of the 5 hrs. is idle time (assuming hrs. meter differentiates between engine hrs. and idle hrs. like F150's do...)? Ask your dealer what they did before they called you...

I retired as a Roll test inspector from Ford. EVERY car is driver on a dynamometer when the assembly is completed. This test is computer monitored for engine, transmission, brakes, electrical components, etc. You can very easily put a couple miles on the odometer doing this. Should, for some reason, the vehicle fail for any reason the problem is fixed and the unit then has to be retested. After all tests are passed the vehicle has to be driven to the area where it will be loaded on a train or transport. The vehicle is driven to both load and unload. Then the vehicle is driven off the transport at the dealership, driven to the prep shop to clean and get the vehicle ready for the customer and driven to the holding area awaiting customer delivery. So any new vehicle will most likely have a minimum of 5 miles on it when you get it. My Lariat had 5 miles. These tests that are ran are very thorough and are for quality assurance. Better to catch any minor glitch in the factory than having it discovered by the customer and then brought in for warranty work which very costly to Ford. When I was there we tried to build each vehicle as if it was going to a family member or friend. I can honestly say nearly all involved in the build of your truck takes personal pride in each and every vehicle they build.

I guarantee the PDI person put about a half hour on there, the cleaning/detailing guys probably put at least an hour on there and then all of the idling sitting in lots waiting for transport etc, it adds up.

I wonder if the meter stops running every time auto-stop activates?

Very boring ride for 7 miles at 1.2 miles per hour

When I get my Maverick I will have to check that out.

In 2019 when I bought my Hyundai Kona there was a brand new suv on the lot in front of the office, the salesman had the two front doors open with music on and engine running, and I assume air conditioning on because it was hot af in the summer… It was running when I got there and it was running when I left, I was There for hours that day, and I assumed that was an every day event for them. they had my Kona on display in the middle of the mall so I wasn’t worried about crazy idle time on mine.

I checked this yesterday, the meter keeps going when auto-stop activates.

My mav had 26 miles on it. They left me a nice note in the glove box. It was used for a test.
