If you have your VIN, you can get a copy of your sticker here: http://mcmahonford.com/Look-Up-Window-Sticker/
If you look at the top of the sticker, in the middle, you will see a date starting with 22016 with the word 'blend' below it. I found out on another thread that that is the day that all the parts for your truck should be at DTAP so that's the day it should be assembled. Only 48 hours to go!

I have my VIN: 1FTFX1EG9GFC58283 but so far no luck in getting the window sticker at any place folks have mentioned here. Guess I just need to practice some patience! I ordered on 4/30 and the order was placed with Ford on 5/2. Order was picked up by ford on 5/12 and shows on COTUSA as being in Production Processing. I can't find any more info so far. I suspect that the build date and window sticker availability will come this week.... I Hope! Getting Antsy!

My order was placed right around the time yours was, the dealer was able to tell me my build date was June 6th. They gave me a serial number 4 digits in the 9700's. Anyone know if this is just the last 4 of the VIN?
COTUS says "no matching vehicle" ... Maybe I'm being impatient and it takes time to populate COTUS ?

I have received the "No Matching Vehicle" message as well even after I had a VIN for the truck. I have had better luck putting in the Order number, Dealer Code & my last name. It has never failed with that format so long as I don't fat finger the keyboard! Several times I have tried to use the VIN only to have it come up with the No Matching Vehicle error. Those may have been on an iPad or iPhone though. Desktop computer seems to work best. Early on I used a cotus URL that was apparently incomplete or had been replaced and nothing would come up. Once I started using wwwqa.cotusa.ford.com it seemed to work much better. Since my order was just pick up by Ford this past week I guess I am probably rushing things expecting a build date and window sticker this soon. One can hope though

Dealer emailed me my VIN this afternoon .... The 11th character is a K meaning Kansas City , yours is F so Dearborn Plant. I'm not sure if both plants produce the same number / day?
COTUS still won't work for me, vin, or other order no/dealer/last name. ETIS works with my VIN although the information is limited. Fingers crossed for both of us for a quick build!

You guys are lucky. I ordered on 4/30 and according to the VOC the order was placed on 5/2 but I have yet to receive a VIN and when I enter my order # and dealer code on COTUS it says "no matching vehicle". I don't have a DORA either.

I feel your pain . . . I ordered my truck on March 30th, 4 weeks later went to ask the dealer for an update. Oops it wasn't ordered or was lost by Ford computer (so they say). So April 30th was actually my order date (second order really which is 4 weeks behind). This 1st order is MIA.
I'm freaking out because I go camping early July and am worried about the manual saying that a new f150 needs 1600km on it before towing . If I even get it by then that is !

Oh man, that sucks! Did you get any form of compensation for the screw up?
We're also going camping in early July. I'm not too worried if I don't get it by then because we'll just tow with our old Honda Pilot. As long as I get it before our trip to NJ in August that will be fine because I don't want to tow the trailer all the way down there with the Pilot.
What do you tow? We have a Visa 19 RSD.

Haven't crossed that bridge yet...should be something IMO
I tow a 24' TT that is 3600lbs dry. Loaded with cargo probably about 4200 with my Pathfinder that's rated at 5k. We have just towed local so far and avoid hills because of this. I look forward to the 11 or 12 lbs the ecoboost can tow ! Canon Beach OR is our trip, about an 8hr drive...wayyyy to much on the Pathfinder that long !
