mikesxpress Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Any idea when the VIN should be available after the truck order is placed? Ordered my F150 XLT EcoBoost 1/28/11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PitCritter Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Any idea when the VIN should be available after the truck order is placed? Ordered my F150 XLT EcoBoost 1/28/11. Not until the truck is scheduled for production. You can post your info in the "Vehicle Locator" forum, (under Ford Employee's Forum), and get updates on your truck if you're curious.

The Pathfinder Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I ordered on 1/20 and got my build date and VIN today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wavehogger Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Strangely, my dealer said my truck is sched to be built the week of 2/14 and yet when I try to view the sticker with the VIN online it says it doesn't exist. Should I be worried and asking the dealer for more info? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rufeo Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Placed an order 1/4/11 and still haven't heard any info on the truck. I'm starting to think my dealer isn't doing his job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PitCritter Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Placed an order 1/4/11 and still haven't heard any info on the truck. I'm starting to think my dealer isn't doing his job January 4??? I ordered September 18 and my truck's scheduled this week. See my thread in the "Vehicle Tracking by Ford Employees" forum here. It's not your dealer. It's Ford. This new line rollout has been a total joke. As far as the sticker goes, mine's not available online yet either. I hear a nasty rumor that production has been pushed back yet again. As I said, I'm scheduled this week, but I'm not holding my breath.

heretic897 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I ordered on 1/28 and haven't gotten a build date yet. I read Ford shutdown the Dearborn plant for a week at end of January because of supply issue on engine parts and then snowstorm. Seems like one delay after another. Hopefully something with my name on it will get built this month... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spunkymonky Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I ordered my 2011 lariat 5.0 Screw on January 27. My window sticker appeared last Thursday with a build date of February 18. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's great you can view yours. I've been looking at some VIN's of my local dealers of trucks they've got on order, and the ones that have just come in. The ones they have that are being built either this week or next have VIN's right around my production number. Strangely though, mine hasn't shown up yet so the 2/14 build week may or may not happen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDKC Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 http://services.forddirect.fordvehicles.com/inventory/WindowSticker.pdf?vin=YOUR VIN GOES HERE I see, so you have to have the VIN from the dealer first. Gotcha. Thank you for the link! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptor11 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 (edited) I ordered my 2011 Raptor SuperCrew on 1/24/11 and nothing yet. Had the dealer check on it last Friday and all he said was that it was on "material hold". You never know how Ford pulls them in for production, but i am ready for mine to get on the production line. UPDATE: Received my VIN on 1-25 -11 with a build week of March 14th. Edited February 26, 2011 by Raptor11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you VIN is in that Link like: http://fordlabels.webview.biz/webviewhybrid/WindowSticker.aspx?vin=1FTEX1R68BFA91436 But its not uncommon that it will take a bit to show up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The build date should be on the sticker. It's encoded in a couple of places. The easiest place to look is the very bottom left corner. Mine reads 2201103047535. Look at the 2nd to 9th digits 20110304 in my case. Mar 4, 2011. Digits 10-13, 7535 in my case, are the blend number.

p38fln Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 You're right...it's not there. Sorry, I'm as lost as you. It doesn't work on "Commercial" trucks - I checked the local dealer, all of the F-150's show blend dates and build dates, but the F-250's look just like your sticker with no dates on them. The only date I see on the sticker you have is 02 21 2011, which I'm going to guess is the blend date BB211 N RB 2X 120 000435 02 21 11 is at the bottom and 9-NORMAL,NB,000435,BB21,000008659 is at the top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
