When is a VIN# produced??

It was my understanding that a vin was produced when your vehicle is scheduled. Am I correct? Or is it possible to have a vin without being scheduled?

 

VIN numbers are generated at the same time an order is scheduled. If you have a VIN number your order is scheduled. Without a VIN number the order is not scheduled with the exception of vehicles scheduled for export and several vehicle lines (foreign plants) that don't get VIN numbers until shortly before production.

The VIN is generated first, then sent to scheduling where they determine whether they have all the pieces available to send it to production.

 

No! If the order doesn't meet all the commodity restrictions in place it doesn't get scheduled and no VIN number is generated. Period!

Thank you! Thats what I thought I read somewhere. I just stopped at my dealership but wasn’t able to get any information about my truck either! Just got the standard “when we hear any news we will let you know” ?

edit.....he did verify I have a vin but I already knew that. These forums are way more useful then my dealership. Why is it so hard to get a solid response from Ford Marketing or my dealership? ?‍♂️

I've had a VIN for nearly two weeks, but nothing from Marketing or Dealership on a build week/date.

Ordered 4/21, 7.3 Tremor CG

 

Call your Dealer! The dealership has 24/7 access to the Vehicle Visibility system which provides all information on order history, scheduling, production, shipping status and any related status updates.
