I have my VIN but yes, it did take a Month before I got it.... another month after that for the truck? Likely in a normal year and not unheard of this year... but unlikely.I ordered on 4/17 and was told not to expect a vin for a month with the truck in two. The more I read, the more I realize that is likely not going to be the case selling my truck based on that timeline was a poor idea ?
Same scenario here. Ordered on April 3. My dealer reached out to say the anticipated build week would be 6/14, but still no VIN. How did you go about finding your VIN?My dealer gave me my scheduled build date but said there was no VIN. I now know that's impossible as it's the vehicles ID. I obtained the VIN through other means.
either my dealer was lazy or didn't want to give it to me to track on my own...
Another ford employee. I would go back to the dealer and say that you understand that all vehicles that are scheduled with a build week have their VIN and could you please have it so you can use the ford vehicle tracker at https://shop.ford.com/vehicleordertracking#/statusSame scenario here. Ordered on April 3. My dealer reached out to say the anticipated build week would be 6/14, but still no VIN. How did you go about finding your VIN?
I would ask outright. Let them know you're educated about the process and they can't get away with not being honest with you. I would say:I'm also in the no VIN club. I ordered my truck on 4/8/21. Every time I contact the dealer my salesman and the sales manager tell that the vehicle has been scheduled. I ask what this means and I receive a wishy-washy answer. They have no dates, no VIN, no nothing to relay to me. I ask to have my order number(I forgot to look when I ordered ?) and they skirt around it and tell me that it doesn't matter at this point since it's "scheduled".
I'm a fairly patient person and I understand there is a long wait for these vehicles. I also feel bad for those stuck in ramp 59 limbo. But I'm getting annoyed to see so many people with order dates after me receiving VINs.
At this point I'm starting to think I got a bad order number or the dealership doesn't have allocation for my particular truck.
Has this scenario played out similar for others? Am I really stuck in some sort of scheduling pre VIN void? Or is it normal to now wait over a month for a VIN?
