Odometer reading wrong (Facebook find)

[Sgoob]

Found this post on Facebook and searched the fourms and didn't see anything.



But I just did some math because I've only taken it out 4 times, bought from dealer with 60 miles showing, pretty accurate approx total of my 4 trips was 634 miles + 60 from dealer = 694, my odometer shows 991. Has anyone else noticed their milage being way higher than it should be?
Picture because it's so good looking haha

I was thinking the same thing. I’ve had mine for 2 months and I already have 3,200 miles on it. I can’t believe I’ve driven 1,600 per month, but maybe I’m having too much fun to notice

I’ll do a manual mileage check this week and see what it comes back with.

Now that you mention it, I did notice I was putting more miles than expected on my month old Bronco. I normally do 4500-5000 per year and I already have over 700 miles. Will do a GPS test today.

I only drive like 5 miles a week (I swear!), but mine is showing 30,500 on the odometer. Pretty sure it's time to get the pitchforks and torches and go after Ford again.

Mine seems to be correct. 2dr SAS 4cyl Man.

Either go on a 4 lane with mile markers and check the odometer or verify with your GPS.

I have noticed this as well, I only put 20K on my JLUR after almost 4 years, but already have almost 6K on my Bronco after 5 months of ownership. 1 major factor is that I can actually drive it on the highway and take road trips, even drove to NC and back which is something I never would have done in my JLUR.

I'll sanity check my odometer, however, if my odometer is doubling my miles, then my fuel economy is like 8 mpgs

Do your odometer reading track with the odometer listing on your Ford Pass app? (Keeping in mind the odometer reading in the app may lag based on when it last updated).

I am taking it out this weekend about 70 miles to the trail head, I'll do some testing.

Maybe some of you love the Bronco so much you are driving it more than the old vehicle and not realizing it, lol!

Haha, until I know more I'll go on this assumption!

Just checked and yeah they match.

Sounds like they’re using Km’s and not miles.

Checked my wife's bronco with a garmin gps and the nav in the bronco. Everything matched

That's good, I hope it isn't an issue on mine either. I will be watching it close when I take it out this weekend.

I test both Apple Maps and Ford's nav and both matched a reset tripometer. All of them matched up. There was some very slight variances below a tenth of a mile, but I equate that to timing and micro-level GPS accuracy.
