Default Working window sticker link??

Anybody able to access any of the window sticker links?

I've struck out on all the ones I had plus the ones I searched shows down.

Anybody got one that works? I have a new truck with a build date of 1/18 so I would think it would show up by now.

It appears that Ford changed the window sticker site at some point. I am no longer able to access my window sticker either. If you go to a Ford dealer and look at the window sticker , the link is different. They are using some sort of token mechanism to get the sticker versus a simple URL change with the VIN as a parameter.

Ford encypted starting a few weeks ago so only a dealer or people with access to Ford's system can get one. JFYI

After a little exploration, I've found that the following URL works well for finding window stickers. You will need to include the entire VIN at the end of the URL.

I've saved the URL, sans VIN, as a bookmark for ease of use.

Thanks.

Well, that one does appear to work hit and miss. I ebayed 2 VINS for 16s and 1 worked and 1 did not. It does not for mine either.

Who knows.

If you find a link that works for your window sticker, I'd highly recommend saving it off to your computer. It's just a regular PDF at that point.

I noticed this a couple months ago when I was really shopping around for my truck ... and soon after, noticed my own window sticker disappeared. Then I found a link that worked, and now that one's gone too :\

Ford's window sticker program is really a great shopping tool, and part of the reason I got another F-150. I can easily see what exactly, with no ambiguity, is on a particular truck, unlike GM's web page thing that shows some, but not all, of the info. I wanted.

Generally the only PDF windows stickers that are available are vehicles available through Ford dealers. Mama Ford knows what is on their lots and the window sticker is then available. That has been my experience since they made window stickers available to only those that pay for the service.

I've been pulling up the same window sticker for years, until recently.
