The Ford order/build/deliver timeline.

[FZ188]

I wonder if it has anything to do with the geographical location of where the request is coming from? I just tried the Ken Wilson link again without success. I tried the 2nd link in the first post and received the HTTP 400 error and the 1st link says, "The Ford, Lincoln or Mercury vehicle window sticker you are attempting to access has recently moved." You then have to select from 3 options. When trying to find a dealer, the forum requests State or Zip Code. Thus it appears it is limited to U.S. addresses only.

Have any Canadian members been able to use any of the 3 links to retrieve their Window Sticker lately?

I have just checked now. The link below is still working as always. I'm in Toronto area.

Not working from this end.
It appears to be very selective for some reason.

you may test by trying this vin# 1FM5K8HT7GGA58715 on the site I mentioned previously. Which is the car posted on a dealer's site. I could get the window stick correctly now. Per the result,I think you could better figure out the problem.

Just got a phone call from the dealer letting me know my explorer has reached the lot in state due to thanksgiving it should be ready mid next week for pick up hurrah

That VIN works but neither my previous Explorer or current Lincoln will pull up the sticker. When I ran the Lincoln VIN in the appropriate search, it came back with;

HTTP 400 error
It’s not you, it’s this link (it appears to be broken)

My 2016 limited explorer was built 11/06/2015
It arrived at the dealership today pick it up tomorrow...

 

[Explor16sil202]

I ordered 2016 explorer on 2nd week of September 2015, finally received my vin number 12 Nov, 2015. But still no build date, no windows sticker, no ETA. I will keep update my progress here.

I was given a priority 19 on the DORA at the beginning, and recently the priority changed to 5. Can anybody help me to let me know who set the priority? Ford or the dealer? And what is priority 5 and 19 meaning? I wonder this is the reason why my order is that slow, priority 19 is the root cause?

-Ordered on September 9, 2015
-Received vin number Nov 12, 2015
-no build date, no eta, no windows sticker yet.

This is the first time I have ordered a car and my first Ford. What do I do for my patience? I can't wait! Looks like I have about 15 more days or so... ugh

I hope it's built before Christmas. The assembly plant closes for the holidays. I think it is for 10 - 14 days.

Ordered Explorer Limited today - 1/22/16

Ordered an Explorer Limited today 1/22/16

First vehicle we've ever ordered before. Hoping it doesn't really take 3-4 months that the dealership suggested.

Congratulations on making an excellent decision! I suggest you spend some time looking around the forum here. It's the best way to help "manage the wait" for your new Limited.
