Get Build Date Info as 2nd Owner

[Gerb]

I'm the second owner of a 2021 Agate Black F150 Supercab Sport (my father was the first.) Since I didn't order the truck, is there anyway to still get the actual build date, etc.?

It was built in KC, the door sticker says 9/21, and it was bought off the lot. I do have the original window sticker.

Thanks

It will be the "Blend Date" shown at the top of the window sticker.

Hmm.... my window sticker doesn't have information like that at the top.

A cooperative dealer can look it up in their OASIS system, or, for a ~$27 fee (72-hour subscription) you can access that and a ton more build info for your VIN on OASIS yourself (access is included with the Workshop Manual subscription).

- FordServiceInfo.Com

One example of data (with Production Date) I copied from that subscription attached FYI, there are many more pages of VIN-specific info included.

It's on the .pdf version that you can download from the web. There are several sources that the window sticker can be acquired from if you use the search function on the forum.

Please post the specific link if you find a free one that works now for a 2021 - 2022 VIN.

Am I crazy? I assumed on my sticker this was the build date location…?

08/17/21

Close, but not exactly....

On my Special Order Monroney sticker that's the sticker 'print date' (05/04/2022), which was 8 days before the Blend Date (05/12/2022). And the Blend Date = the Production Date (05/12/2022) shown in OASIS.

Well there you go. Thanks for teaching me something!

Just FYI .....

Apparently, what I'm calling the 'print date' is when the MSRP and any applicable National Discounts are 'fixed' for the soon-to-be-built VIN.

In the case of my special order placed some 5 months previous, that was $3635 higher than the price in effect when I ordered (due to several intervening price increases). No worries, my original deal was price protected by Ford (my dealer was invoiced based on the price in effect at time of order).

The Monroney always reflects the MSRP at time of build because if the originally ordering person does not take delivery of the VIN, there is no price protection for the eventual buyer or dealer (the dealer is invoiced based on the Monroney MSRP at time of build).

You can search your vin parts.ford.com and it will show vin build date. I caught this change recently and it did match the build date dealer provided awhile ago when I asked as I missed the max tow recall by 3 days. Says yours is 9.23.21 based on window sticker you shared.

You can search your vin ford.parts.com parts.ford.com and it will show vin build date.

With the correct URL, an excellent 'find'!

(confirmed with my VIN)

Thank you all for the information. It was very helpful.

Can also check a few of the wiring harnesses under the hood.
Some will have tags with a series of numbers and the build date will be on it.
(or at least the scheduled date)
There are a couple of harnesses in my truck ('21) and the blend date is on them.

That's good to know too!
