F-150Synch Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Hi; Lots of codes on the window sticker! My dealer gave me a VIN for my 18 Raptor order a few weeks ago so I've printed a copy of that for reference. A few weeks ago it used to say "9-NORMAL" and then NB, 102892, HF261 and then in large bold numbers 5994. So today is the day after production was supposed to start at the Dearborn plant and i thought I'd check and see if anything changed. Now it says "4-REBILL" followed by NB, 102090, HG141 and large bold numbers 3438. Can anybody explain what these changes mean? I've attached screen grabs of the changes at the top of the sticker. Was there a delay of some sort? Thanks, F-150Synch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pioneer Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 The window sticker constantly changes until the vehicle is produced. Don't sweat it. Post your VIN and I can tell you if it was delayed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-150Synch Posted July 18, 2017 Author Share Posted July 18, 2017 Pioneer; Thanks for the quick response. Before I read your reply I checked ETIS and was pleased to find that my truck had been born yesterday afterall. VIN 1FTFW1RG1JFA03809. Now the real waiting game begins I'd still like to know what the term REBILL means if you happen to know. I know others have had this question as well (says Google). Thanks again, F-150Synch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pioneer Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Yep. Born yesterday. No dealer ETA as they are running batch and hold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-150Synch Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share Posted July 19, 2017 Well hopefully it won't be something like a month before release. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
currybob Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Pioneer Are you able to check the status of an order with just the dealer code and order number (Order # C001 Dealer code F21709) ?? Trying to find my VIN where I can track on COTUS. Don't like bother folks but would very much like to track my 2018 F150 that I ordered on the 23rd of June. Would appreciate any help with this Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pioneer Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 If that is a White Platinum crew cab truck ordered from Gilbert & Baugh Ford, it doesn't have a VIN yet. I would also have the person that ordered it go talk to their salesperson. The priority is 19, lowest you can have for a retail order.

currybob Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Close, its a King Ranch. I will check with them as you advise about the priority. Thanks for your help!! at least I know they order is at Ford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pioneer Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 When I said White Platinum, I just meant the color. I didn't dig into the build details to sees what trim level it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
currybob Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Oh, well I took your advice and they are suppose be changing the priority to a 10, is that good? They said their system defaults to a 19 but I have no clue if they know what they are doing or not. GM said he would check on it and make sure it gets done. I was their first 2018 retail order he said. I ordered my 15 from them and they are good people but small town in Alabama, so don't know how many custom orders they do. Sometime when you are able, can you check to see if the change went through? Do you know if they have started regular production or customer orders yet? Hoping to get a VIN soon so I can track on COTUS and not have to bother folks for info. I'm retired now, so have lots of time on my hands LOL. Thanks for all your info, I'm pretty excited to get this new truck in. I really like the new frontend changes and powertrain upgrades. Thanks again!!

currybob Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Pioneer Would mind checking again in few days?? I would really appreciate it. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ice-capades Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Normal scheduling is done on Thursday mornings with dealers having scheduling confirmations on Friday mornings. Although Ford is pretty good when it comes to scheduling retail orders, it's still mostly a matter of the dealership having allocation for scheduling each week. In any event, understand that Pioneer is very generous with the assistance that he provides so I'd advise you not to bother him too often about your order status. I'd suggest talking directly to the person at the dealership that places their orders. Just my suggestion after nearly 32 years managing my dealership's orders.

currybob Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I hear ya and understand. I do appreciate all the info he has given me to this point and the suggestion to change the order priority. It was much appreciated. Once I get the VIN I will use Cotus for tracking. Will contact my dealer Friday to see if it has been scheduled yet.

currybob Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Anyone know if Dearborn is working tomorrow on Labor day?? My truck is schedule for birth tomorrow. Also, is the work week for the plant Monday thru Friday or something else? I now have a VIN too 1FTEW1EG4JFA56361 Any info much appreciated!

Pioneer Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Dearborn Truck is on an alternative schedule. Trucks are built 7 days a week. I'm on my RDO's (regular days off) right now, so I'm not sure if they are running tomorrow or not. But if your truck is scheduled, it must be running.

Just checked my window sticker and the blend number has changed, showing a build date of 7 Sep now, so it got moved 3 days later. Looks like it won't be a holiday truck.LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pioneer Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Constantly reloading the window sticker will change the date on it. Nothing is set in stone on it until it's built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
