Gilley Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Yeah I ordered mine 1/28 and just finally got the VIN number last week and noticed I got the window sticker now, mine is set to start being built on 3/10/2011. Been a long month and now have 3 weeks or so left to wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1depd Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Ordered my EB lariat 2/28 and just got VIN today from Ford CS Ordered my EB FX2 Feb 5th. Called customer service yesterday and they can not find the order. The order number is valid, but three other vehicles come up and not one is a truck.

RKSteel Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Ordered my FX2 Screw 5.0L, 6.5 bed last week. Once the dealer submits the order, does it all depend upon Ford? Does Ford wait until they have similiar trucks, a specific number of trucks from the same geographic area, etc before they start building them? Thanks.

It makes no sense at all. Your truck sound almost identical to mine. Hopefully, yours will be quicker than mine. My order went in in early October. It's supposed to be at the dealer today.

ilmo Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 (edited) 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 What does 'Blend" mean? What is the difference between "Blend date" and "Build date"? And how does the "Blend date" show up on the window sticker?

My order went in in early October. It's supposed to be at the dealer today. Except for the color, the trucks are the same. Did you pick it up yet? How do you like it? Could not find a FX2 with 6.5 bed anywhere. Had a dealer in FL check for 2000 mile range, nada. Only one in the state and it was red. The dealer told me 6-8 weeks, but I have seen some threads with 10-12 weeks. I hoping mid May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p38fln Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 What does 'Blend" mean? What is the difference between "Blend date" and "Build date"? And how does the "Blend date" show up on the window sticker? Thanks Blend is the day that the vehicle receives its production date - or the 'lock-in' date. After order is blended, you can't make any changes. The build date is the production date or the day that the vehicle will actually be built. Blend date shows up in the box under the VIN# barcode, and is usually about 1 week before the production date, in the bottom right corner.

I ordered my truck 3/12, hopefully it follows your timeline and I'll get my VIN on Monday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xj650 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Another issue that might effect you is when the dealer put the order in to ford. I ordered mine on 3/5 but my DORA says ordered recieved on 3/11. I dont know if the dealer waited to order or if it took Ford that long to respond. From what I have read it seems like my dealer may have waited on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeguy Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Ordered mine on 3/12. Order was submitted while I was there. Had VIN via tracking forum on 3/18 Window sticker on 3/19 showing build on 3/26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c00pster Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Ordered my Truck on 3/12 and got my vin on 3/22. Currently shows it will build the week of 4/11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedog Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Ordered a Raptor in early February and still awaiting a VIN. Appearently an allocation issue. At least the order's been confirmed by the factory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dedonut Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 FInally got it to work thanks. Build date of Feb 28th ! Where is the build date on the Window sticker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttnewbie Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Where is the build date on the Window sticker? Upper left corner. Look for a number like 220110323. Drop the first "2" the rest is the year, month and day. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it the same for the Lincoln? My numbers are HRM- (which I assume is Hermosillo) 000215CA (and it's coming to Calif) but the numbers are strange. I ordered on 02/22 and the build date was 03/21. Same numbers in the box bottom left but then a space and followed by 03 17 11 Edited April 2, 2011 by Dedonut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same numbers in the box bottom left but then a space and followed by 03 17 11 Look just to the right of the the HRM-000215CA. There should be a 9-digit number there. The last 8 digits should give you the date. On mine, the date at the top 20110323 and the thing that sure looks like a date at the bottom is 3 16 11. I also believe I read somewhere that window stickers come about a week before the build date, so I'm going with yours was scheduled to be built on 3/24.

I guess the Lincoln is coded differently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
