Running tally of VIN #, order date and build date by Ranger5G member (2020 MY)

I hope you don't think I was picking on you. It is all in fun to see which of us receives their vehicle first.

It is great you have the window sticker now; for sure a positive step. I noticed that the Supercab does not have the government 5-star safety rating. I guess the Supercab has not been submitted for testing yet.

No offense taken at all Radio ! I knew from the get go that I would be the last on the list to receive my 2020.
Good God, it's gotta travel almost 5 K miles to get here, such is the price of living in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
Coincidentally though, I had a call from my dealer's customer relations rep asking how I was enjoying my new ride... my response was there something she knows that I don't?
I do notice that on the window sticker near the bottom that there's a date of Nov. 15, does anyone know what's the significance of that info?
So far as I know, production is still scheduled for Monday, Nov. 25 (yeah, it's a Monday truck).

On other websites that try to explain the information of the window sticker, that date is listed as invoice date. Something internal for Ford I'm guessing.

 

[Mokume]

Thanks for the follow-up Radio, will check with the dealer on the invoice tomorrow. This sales transaction will be done via Ford's X Plan, of which I am entitled to see that document.

I believe the date on the bottom is when the WIndow Sticker was last updated.

On my copy of the window sticker and on Mokume's there is a box labeled "Special Order" that contains a date along with several numbers and letters. This is in addition to the date that is on the bottom of the window sticker outside of all borders. It is the date inside the "Special Order" box that he is referring to, I believe. The date is an invoice date according to other websites I visited while researching window sticker information. The date on my sticker is 11 19 19 and my blend date is 11 27. The date on the very bottom outside of the borders is 11/20/19 and it is the date of the window sticker as you said.

On the other hand, what do I know? First time though this process with Ford although I did order a 2017 Highlander for my wife. Toyota does not provide the customer near the information that Ford does, at least in my case.

This is @Mokume's window sticker. I've circled the 11/21/2019 date on the bottom. I believe this is the date the window sticker was updated.

Of course we already know that 320191125 is his Blend Date.

I must say that all of you have a very astute understanding of the Monroeney, honestly I did not notice the other dates on it, Thanks!
Gotta love Ford's choice of the word "blend", at least they did not pick other terms such as beat, whip or puree such as my trusty Osterizer lists!

When I put in my VIN (1FTER4FH6LLA03925) into the Ford Tracking link, it shows nothing. I believe my order was ordered as a dealer stock vehicle and maybe that is why it does not show up? Is there anyway I can get a copy of the window sticker for my truck? Thanks!

@Pioneer74 can probably get it for you. As you've figured out, dealer stock trucks can't be tracked with the retail order website.

You'll need to ask you dealer or reply here for updates.

Ok, Thank you.

OK, my mistake. I thought he was referring to the 11 15 19 date shown in the "Special Order" box, not the 11 21 19 date at the bottom.

I also have a window sticker. Date at the bottom is 11-23-19 so it must have just been generated. Blend date is 12-4-19. I’m so excited!

Edit: The special order date is 11-22-19.

 

[Mantis]

Wow I didn't realize those dates hidden on the sticker either. My last date updated is 11-21-19 although I did download it that day and haven't checked online since. In any case my blend date is 11-26-19. This is very exciting! I special ordered a Mazda 12 years ago and I didn't have any feedback during that process so kudos to Ford for having the information they do provide.

Googled Ford window sticker and found some other interesting 411, the assembly plant is listed in the top left hand corner, in this case "MIC", which we all know is Michigan, scrolling over to the right where it says "bump" lists the vehicle's final destination, in my instance HI
What a relief that is, now I know it won't wind up in Timbuktu by way of Kalamazoo !

 

[rangerdanger]

I updated @fast40s and @Mantis on the list.
