This is a good sign, it means they took it off the internet and put it on the truck.
Mine updated to 5/11.
As did mine, 5/11. I hope that's it loading. Anyone have access to see if they are truly released?
The footer date on the left of center is dynamic [05/11/2022], it represents the generation date of the PDF document, it will change each new day you generate a new PDF view

While the embedded date right of center circled in blue is the blend date [20220420]

The date under the SPECIAL ORDER [04 06 22] is the date the truck was assigned a blend day

I don't know if that's correct about the date in the bottom center, there was a point when that date was not updating on a daily basis. I have been saving all of my window stickers and below is an example of one I generated on 5/2 but the date on the bottom center of the sticker was 4/26.

There was a point mine updated every Friday, then lately it updates daily. Someone else on the forum theorized that Ford runs a script that updates all of them. I'm leaning toward that, and that they changed from running it on Friday to running it daily as production ramped up.

OR, the form generation script had a flaw which was fixed recently, I'd guess it is updated on demand, rather than a midnight script.

The oldest earliest builds from 3/15 are still updating as of todays on demand viewing

I looked at my local dealers on site inventory, when I use their link to the sticker it shows a 2021 date https://www.tascafordma.com/api/leg...cguid=SH-18617e86-ec3f-c48a-56f8-be345415e876

When I use the Ford link it shows todays generation date

I think the form is updated every time there is a change to the form or it is scanned…… or maybe not

I was able to start the activation in the FordPass app today. I’ve been trying every few days and was not able to until now. Do we think that means it is close to shipping?

I had that almost 2 weeks ago. Doesn’t seem to mean too much.
mine got declined or timed out.
saw another poster that said theirs got accepted. I guess good shuttle driver.

but anyway sit down 🪑 and join the wait 🍻. ⚡

Mine still gone. !???
Well the posts to our build week group have declined. I continue to wait for the “blessed event” (non religious) known as delivery to our dealers.

but I assume you can still log onto ford.com and see your reservation under your account? Missing window sticker just causes anxiety - it will come.

Did anyone NOT seeing their sticker based on VIN previously communicated make a A/T to A/S tire change?

5/2 build here. I am also not seeing my window sticker since yesterday. At some point I couldn’t log in and it said my VIN didn’t exist. This morning I am able to log in again, but no window sticker. If you used a secondary website you can see the window sticker with the date updated on the bottom with no real changes.

So I found that there is probably just something going on with the Ford-linking tracker. If you go to this site that links to them more directly it should work for you.

https://researchmaniacs.com/VIN-Number-Lookup/WindowSticker/Ford.html

No idea why the above works and not Ford's. My sticker still shows the date at the bottom updating every day even under this alternative site. Must be the real deal sticker - weird the ford site-links don't work.

Yes I can still log in and see everything. Just says sticker not available when I click the link for sticker. I had access to view since 4/13 I believe, but went unavailable about a week ago now. I just want to see it in front of my house not on my laptop !!

This link doesn't work for me anymore as it did before. I can still search others though.

Ford Vehicle Order Tracking Home

you will need your vin and 4 digit order number that is on your window sticker.

Example my order number is 4235
