Voice to text definitely made it a bit challenging to read with the lack of punctuation, but I think I've got it.
Regarding the two small marks/dings under both mirrors. The symmetry does suggest it happened in transport, but it's not going to be from strapping it down. The straps will typically be a kind of ratchet strap type "nest" that goes over the top of the wheels and straps to the bed, or a chain hooked over a solid sub-structure (control arm, frame rail, etc). If there's small marks on the paint and/or sheet metal below the mirrors I would suspect some kind of tarp or sheeting laid over the truck in an attempt to protect it during transport. That is assuming it did occur then, but with 11,000+ km it could have happened after that too. Since the truck has a fair amount of miles on it, it's also possible someone had something tied to the truck causing the marks. Not likely that you'll be able to go after the dealership for those because there's not evidence that it's Dodge's fault.
As for the vehicle history.
Carfax reads a little differently here than it does in CND, so I ran one on my end too. It's attached, along with the window sticker. It sure looks like a used sale to me, but as bigdodge mentioned, Canada plays by different rules. I suppose it's possible dealerships there are required to register them when they're being used as demos, but I don't know for sure.
Vehicle history ↓↓↓
Nov 10, 2020 - It was delivered to Vaughn Chrysler Jeep Dodge. - 14 km
Feb 17, 2021 - First owner registered with the Ontario Ministry of Transportation, as a personal vehicle.
Feb 26, 2021 - Predelivery inspection complete (by Vaughn Chrysler Jeep Dodge). - 19 km
June 22, 2021 - Oil changed at Great Canadian Oil Change in Concord ON. - 10,729 km
Aug 22, 2021 - Registration issued or renewed at Maple Ridge BC Motor Vehicle Department
Sept 7, 2021 - Registration issued or renewed at Langley BC Motor Vehicle Department
I'm assuming you purchased it in September 2021 since that was the last registration report.
I notice that in a 4 month span between Feb 2021 and June of 2021 the truck logged 10,710 km (6,654 miles for my Metric challenged American friends). That's a lot of driving and nearly double the average rate so whoever owned it was driving a lot.
From there, the next report is all the way across the country to B.C. where the registration is updated twice, and I assume sold to you. I highly doubt the dealership would move a vehicle all the way across the country to sell it, nor would they let someone drive it that far for a demo. This almost certainly has to be pre-owned.
As for why someone would sell/trade it so quickly. That doesn't strike me as odd based on the mileage and locations. Three possibilities that come to mind:
1. If someone is diving as much as that person did, its possible they replace their vehicles every year to keep themselves in warranty. At the rate they were driving that would probably be every other year at least, or maybe quicker in this case.
2. It's possible they grossly underestimated fuel consumption and driving a full size truck with a V8 that much was killing them in fuel costs. Maybe they sold it for something more efficient because even with MDS these 5.7L are very thirsty.
3. It's possible there was an unexpected life event where they couldn't keep the truck. People don't tend to move across the country too often so the fact that it went from ON to BC could mean they had to move and couldn't keep the truck.
There could be other reasons, of course, but those are off the top of my head. The early sale/trade doesn't seem too out of place for this particular truck. While it is nice and well optioned, it doesn't look like it was custom order (based on window sticker and Carfax). It think someone probably saw a nice truck on the lot and may have gotten in over their head.
I'd rest easy about the quick sale, but the whole "new" story from the dealer I'd have an issue with. I'd definitely call them on it, or at least ask for a better explanation.
I hope that helps.
