Mine had 150 on it, when I went to test drive her, it was driven from a Baltimore dealership as a trade off I quess, because the sticker says on the ship to info, Jarrettsville MD.

I should have put my miles down in the first post.

Mine had 20 before my 13 mile test drive.

36 when I picked it up.

I know the dealer took it to fuel it up (put just 1/4 tank in it) just before I picked it up.

Mine had 19 before my test drive, 24 after my test drive, and 26 as soon as I drove it off the lot. They too had to go fuel it.

Its now got a little over 1900 miles on it.

Might it be that after spending 40K on a new truck, you want it to have as little miles on it as possible. I know I had a problem with receiving a truck that some bone head went out and test drove(ran the snot out of) to see how the "NEW 600" felt before he ordered one as he wasn't going to own that truck. When I bought my truck I was told it only had 12 miles on it. When I picked it up it had 28 miles. I almost said NO and walked away. I guess it just depends on the person.

Do I get some kind of award? Mine had 800 on it, looks like it went through 2 dealer swaps before I got it. The dealer on the sticker was in Illinois, my dealer got it from a dealer in east Ky. The local dealer only had one 2500, it had a 6 speed, I wanted an auto. I gave him a list of options that I wanted and he came up with the truck. I have just about 5000 miles on it now, no problems at all.
