What is J1? And why does SYNC3 have J1?
I thought since SYNC3 is default from now on 2016+ so why would have buikd date? I would figure it would be as soon as buikd starts

Another member in another thread said it meant "Job 1". In other words, immediately.

Hi DPWiegs and Coaster60,
Please send me a PM with your order number and dealer code, or send your VIN if you already have one; I'll check a resource on this end for updates.
Dearborn is building about 8,500 trucks a week, while KC is building about 7,500 a week.
For OCT, the numbers for the 2016 F150 appear to indicate a slight reduction of (roughly) 1K trucks per week per plant, but that assumes no (new) issues arise that cause the plants to lose builds. It won't take long to get back up to APW (and probably MPW).
Another question for you if you don't mind.
I know VIN doesn't represent the exact order that the vehicles are built, but there is a rough correlation, right? For instance, would trucks with VINs that are in the range of A10000 to A11000 be built relatively close together (etc, same week/within a few weeks of each other)?
Thanks for your huge wealth of information you've provided on these forums!
For you guys who have successfully placed your '16 orders (#jealous), were any of these super crews? I was told yesterday that the order bank wasn't open for SCrews yet, just wanted to confirm. I don't see anything listed in the availability dates below.
