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

[KenC]

Mine had like 29. There was a sticker on the back window saying it was chosen for more testing at Hermasillo.

Mine had 24 miles. Didn't see the hours. As soon as I saw "24" I said out loud, "What did they dooo?" ~ assuming it was the Service Dept playing a little. But I'll have to look tomorrow to see if we got a little note from Hermosillo.

Should have said “chosen to get lunch“

Well, I was too curious to wait until tomorrow, so I went out and looked through everything in the glove compartment and inspected the back window. And the verdict is: No note at all from Hermosillo in the glove compartment or cup holders and no such note on the back window...just a little sticker telling me about my spray-in bedliner. Soooo, it *was* the local dealer and service dept checking out the hybrid, eh?

Mine had 17 miles on it, not sure about the hours.

Nothing crazy with it, I'm curious to check if there is a note now. I didn't really see one when I bought it? oh well nothing wrong with it. Happy its here

Will be looking for your report.

Lmao

Some vehicles get assembled, tested and out the door with no issues or tests. Some vehicles (small number) get audited basically gone over with fine tooth comb. But some vehicles have defects. Sometimes very simple like replace a scratched panel and sometimes the entire interior is pulled apart to fix.

Its random and would be hard to know exactly what went down with your ride but it's not something to worry about.

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...

Quite sure dealer did nothing before they called me.

 

[ShadowChas]

don't they run idle whilst getting loaded on the train and off? onto the truck and off? around the dealership for inspection, cleaning, etc... you can not pick the truck up from the end of the assembly line you know

 

[brdl04]

you understand your warranty starts when you pick up the truck right? I hope mine has 100 miles when I get it. Helps get the bugs out.

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?.

What were your expectations on this?

I mean there has to be a certain amount of miles and hours just for transport from assembly line to various points until delivered. Also have to be running at various points for testing and prep. Might have been left in on position while cleaning for delivery to the customer as well.

So are you really that concerned about 5 hours?

Did you expect 0 miles and 0 hours?

 

[AnthonyMav]

20 miles on mine, but I got one of the first hybrid batches so it had to be retested and registered for EPA in Mexico. Small potatoes

 

[Nunyabiznus]

Where I work when we do something repeatedly I tell them to check every 10th part. So if you only got 5 miles on it great. 20 plus even better you know yours past mustard

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.

Good explanation
