Received VIN Today

[Bobsputin]

Learned today mine is on a train about 150 miles away. Ask your dealer for a Vehicle Visibility report if your truck looks stalled or curious what status it is in.

Yes sir. It was on my original order form. If you’re looking for yours it’s on the top right corner of your invoice and it’s labeled order code.. probably 4 digits

Sounds like one of those math problems.. If a train is traveling at 80mph on a south bound track when will it...... ?

Good Morning,
I received a call from my dealer this morning with a VIN and build date of 6/24. Which will likely get pushed. I use the forum tracker and the window sticker is already populating. Now to me this feels like Christmas morning lol but do you typically have a widow sticker the same day as the VIN? Assuming the dealer hasn’t been sitting on the VIN a couple days.

Out of curiosity, what plant is your truck assigned to?

It’s planned for Dearborn.

Mine was even faster. I had a dealer sit on my order for 5 weeks without submitting it to Ford. I went to a second dealer, told him the story and placed my order on Friday 5/7. I got my VIN on Tuesday 5/11 and a verbal build week of 6/14. 5/21 my window sticker was online at the tracker with a blend date of 6/18. The second dealer made a phone call to the areas sales rep for Ford and managed to get a 1 priority put on the order. Much thanks to Castle Rock Ford.

That does seem early but with DTP being idled you were probably “sent to plant” and in queue for production as that happened. That’s what happened to me.
My build week of April 19 was assigned March 20. Build date of April 22 assigned on April 1 (VIN already generated on March 20).

April 15 sticker generated and sent to plant (original build date of April 22) but my new build/blend date bumped to May 7 at that same time. With Kansas staying shut down… I’ll be lucky to be built by mid June but I am sent to plant/“in production” for whenever they resume and my blend date is still May 7 and my sticker date is still April 15.

My blend date was 20210421. , vin 1FTFW1E8XMKE05340 Order number F011 , dealership cannot find truck built yet, projected delivery was 05 19 2021, nothing yet,

Same - I’m not built. I bet yours is built any day. It seems April 21 was the last April blend date and then it went to May 6. KC builds with < April 20 blends are now reporting they are built and shipped.l as they were all sent to plant before shutdowns.

What’s hard to swallow is that I found a KAN003622. 20210419 blend. , 04 13 21

this is sitting on a lot in Northern California , but again they filled retail orders before special orders , not good business.
