Hey guys just wondering if you know how to find the exact production number your Lightning is based on the color. I had this with an old Mazda years ago and was just curious about it.

The Color has no link to production sequence numbers, but I'm not certain I understand your question, is it the head count by model year and colors built?

My understanding is the production number is the last 6 digits of the vin. Wondering if others can confirm this.

last five numerals are assigned in ascending sequence as the orders are selected from the orders pool, this happens during "assignment of an order to the build week" though when an actual blend day for that or an adjusted build week is in constant flux, every Tuesday they rebalance to buildables based in real time / just in time supplies and defer unbuildable VINs to later weeks when they can't meet goal.

When they schedule the actual production week, the vin's last five numerals have zero / no /nil impact on what is built by the minute / hour / day.

Take a look at this sample of production from MY22 & start of MY23, I pre sorted it in Blend day and Build week order, look at the last 6 column (the G is not important) but I didn't understand that when designing this table.

If you zoom in, you can see the metallic flakes in the paint actually form a 'Connect The Dots' sequence with the build order.
