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!

There isn't a "normal".

The VIN will be issued when the build week is scheduled.

I was told that in 2022, the build week will not be assigned until Ford is sure that the materials for the build are available. This will reduce the rescheduling, but will likely lead to longer times before you get a VIN.

Word is that the actual scheduling starts this week (Thursday) for the first F-150 production week of 11/29, including Raptors. Those would be for orders that had dealer allocations (make sure your dealer had an allocation for you). How many orders will be in that first scheduling run? Who knows?

Ordered a '21 mid June never got a VIN. Now waiting on a '22. Nobody knows for sure how long it will take. It's a roll of the dice.

It’s so funny how different all the information out there is. Would be nice if ford just came out and said something!

My dealer said he was told by ford that retail orders were being prioritized due to the units being “sold” already and won’t sit on a lot. Who knows what to believe at this point
