If you don’t have a VIN then it’s probably not scheduled for production so there would be nothing to see
 When it gets scheduled for production you get an email from Ford with your VIN. Then the tracking can begin!

I submitted my order through my dealership back in January, and have been stuck in the Place Order "In Progress" limbo since. I am also located up in Canada, so who knows when I will get scheduled...

Cool app though, and thanks for the replies!

Wow talk about ask and the universe will answer. After posting on here this morning my dealership just called me to tell me my order was picked up! Crazy timing. So I actually got to use this app today after all!

So what does this look like for you then? Any data under shipping for rail or convoy?
Update: Nevermind, I just saw that you were talking about the order itself

How long should we expect from built status to at the Dealer ready for pickup? I've got a Week of 6/13 build but trying to guess when I'll need to be around LA.

At this rate is going to bea long time. Trucks built 4/11, 4/18, 4/25 and so on still have no shipping days yet.

I'm only seeing the here-say anecdotal reports that a truck is on dealer site, nothing solid yet.
The very early builds of the FCTP models still have not progressed in the FORD tracker, it's only a small sample of the numbers of VIN that are out there and already loaded on train cars in transit.

I would think once they scan them into custody of the transports they would update their tracking, but, might have put some temporary stops on this data flow and now need to release the stops, hopefully we see that activity within the week of this past Tuesday, aka weekly batch data processing.

@REDHORSECA credit for this process for finding your VIN after being assigned a BUILD WEEK

I had tried following the instructions on the Lightning forums, MME forum, and FB to pull the VIN# from my Ford Account reservation page with a Build Date. I don't know why my VIN# wasn't showing up in the same places as the screenshots shown by other Lightning reservists.

But, I was unsuccessful at finding the VIN# in the standard places everyone was finding theirs. It was easy to find my Order Number in the data but was coming up blank on the VIN#.

I kept tinkering around and finally found my VIN# in the Browser Developer tools like everyone else. Just a slightly different area for me. This might also help someone find their VIN if the standard way shows up nothing.

  • Firefox
  • Login to your Ford.com/ MY ACCOUNT/ go into your Lightning "Reservation & Orders" page
  • Click "View" to see your Lightning's configuration info "YOUR ORDER"
  • Make sure your Lightning is "Scheduled for Production" with a build date "Week of #/##/2022".
  • [F12] to go into Firefox the browser's "Developer Tools"
  • My Firefox Developer Tools shows up on the bottom half of the main browser window. In some cases, it may take the right side of the browser window.
  • In the Developer Tools larger window, select the [Network] tab and also the [XHR] tab on the upper rows of the Developer Tools window.
  • Click inside the Browser window Ford page and press [F5] for Firefox to refresh the browser page. Refreshing the "YOUR ORDER" web page will load up data into the Developer Tools window below.
  • On the upper bars of the Developer Tools window, there is a picture drawing of a tiny funnel "FILTER" for you you to input your Order Number ########. Enter only the numbers.
  • You'll probably get 2-3 hits in the filter results window below, look for the columns [Type] JSON/ highlight that specific record.
  • When you highlight that filter result a smaller window will show itself to the side.
  • In the smaller side window [Headers] tab is probably highlighted, click the [Response] tab and data will cache in the smaller window
  • Click the "Raw" slider switch to show the raw data. This is the final step that allowed me to see my VIN#.
  • Go and click in the smaller cache window results and highlight all the data [CTRL]+"A"
  • Open a Word or Notepad document, Paste [CTRL] + "V" all the data into the text document.
  • In the Word or Notepad Search for "1FTV" (the first letter is a number one), in my search results, My Lightning VIN# was very near the top of the data dump.
  • My VIN data looked like this: "catalogId":"WANAB-TFD-2022-F-150","vin":"1FTVW1EL1NWG05xxx"

According to the ford site I have a build week of 6-6-22. I don’t see anything other than that. I didn’t get the order sheet from the dealer. I ordered online and gave the 500 deposit through the website—after the 100 reservation last year.

should there be a VIN for this truck already?

Did you get an EMAIL on 4/22 when the build week was assigned?
Near the bottom of the email you should find the VIN.
If no, call your salesman they can give you both the VIN and the WBDO order number (4 digits)
