Wait time before VIN?

[EMY92]

Do you get tracking info when you receive a VIN or do you get that when you make a deposit?

You will get an order number when you place the order/deposit. You can use this to find out when/if the order is scheduled by Ford.

The VIN will be created when the build week is scheduled. You will need to get the VIN from the dealer. Ford Performance will not give it to you. With the VIN and order number, you can use the Ford tracking website, or many others that use the same info for tracking.

Is the order code the same as the order number?

Yes, it will be 4 digits.

This won't tell you your build week or date in advance. The FP folks will do that.

To give you a time line…my order was submitted & confirmed on June 17. I received a build week (30 Aug) and VIN on 9 July. Approx 3 weeks prior to my build week, I received a build day of 2 Sep which changed to 31 Aug. A week prior to my build day (31 Aug), my window sticker populated on Ford’s tracker which also show my truck as being “In Production”. During this week, my build day (aka blend date) changed from 31 Aug to 3 Sept. Thinking my truck would be built on 3 Sept, no no no…Ford decided to send its employees on a short hiatus & went down to one shift for about two weeks, if I recall correctly. Per FP & the tracker, my truck finally showed ”Built” on 21 Sept and that it had “Shipped”. My truck arrived at the dealer on 4 Oct. (14 days transit time). Ford’s tracker showed “Delivered“ after truck had arrived at the dealer.

One thing to note, that tracker is slow as hell to update so don’t get wrapped around the axle with that damn thing! It’ll drive you n u t s! Some have waited much longer than I have, some less. Patience is the name of the game here! Once you receive your VIN, relax…it’ll get built. Hope this helps a bit. Cheers!

That’s helpful, man. Thank you! I’m just waiting for that VIN then! I’m just hoping this dealership isn’t pulling my leg and actually had an allocation like they said they did. Thanks again for the input!

Did you ever get your VIN number

Hello all, quick question! How long did you have to wait before your truck had a VIN? I put a deposit down a little over a month ago, but no VIN yet. I'm assuming that this is a normal wait time, I just want to confirm! Thanks in advance!
