I'm also a priority 10 still with no vin, another thread had a 2 page explanation on order codes. Priority is only good to expedite orders to a particular dealer, if you order from dealer A with a priority 10 and me from dealer B with priority 20, we are the same in the overall order process, it just means if someone else at dealer A is priority 15, your order gets processed first.

Should have the VIN next week or the week after.

I plan on finding out what day it should be built and am going to try to be @ DTP to watch (part of) the build.
RoadPilot,

Let us know if you have any luck scheduling the DTP tour. I made a few calls and was told there wasn't any way to know when my truck will go thru final assembly so that I could watch.

Do correct me if I'm wrong, but when you pull up the window sticker using the vin number, there is a code at the top that has the build/completion date. If it takes Ford 12 hours to build a truck, chances are if he takes the tour that day, he may be able to see his truck. Only question is, which white, black, blue truck is it on the line.....?

You're correct on the build date being on the sticker, the DTP just added a third shift so it's running 24 a day, but the tour is only open 9:30-5:00.

If they could give me a few hour range, then I might go and hang out.

A Platinum White King Ranch with a 6.5' bed and trailer mirrors shouldn't be hard to spot, or if there's more than 1, I'm sure I could convince myself that "It must have been that one"

It would be intersting to get a better grasp on the VIN/no VIN situation and what area of the country you live in, or what plant your build is assigned to. This would probably help us confirm what some of us are suspecting - that the no VIN has to do largely with the KC plant coming online. Just quickly reading through, it seems that many of us with no VIN are western/southern/great plains people.

For instance, I'm out of Denver, ordered 1/14/15 (DORA date), Priority 10, no VIN yet.
