Not really, you can have them track it if you know the dealer number and the vehicle was ordered in your name. If it was just a "stock" order they won't be able to help much. I tracked by 08 Shelby with just the dealer number and my name. You will have to call Ford customer service.

Fellas, check your dealer's website. I ordered mine on 3/7/11 and drove off the lot on 4/7/11. I kit checking my dealer's website and the VIN and a simple description of the truck showed up within about 7 days. 13,000 miles later and could not be happier. This was from a very small Ford dealership as well. Just check their new inventory and you should eventually see it. Good luck to all of ya!!! It is worth the wait, so just hang in there.

They're pushing 2012's out quickly now. I ordered mine almost 5 weeks ago and it's scheduled to hit the dealer on Monday. Stoked!

Not as quickly as one might expect. June 21st order got a VIN number and delivery date of September 3rd makes it 10+ weeks.
The initial estimate was given to me was 4-5 weeks...

Yikes! My salesman was out of the office today but emailed me that he'll check first thing in the morning. Not trying to kick you when you're down, but I sure hope I get mine a hell of a lot sooner than that!

Just thought I would let you guys know in case anyone else is in a similar position. I'm going crazy over here with impatience

If you guys have a Vin# you can add it to the end of the URl and your window sticker should show. Make sure the W & S are upper case. At the end of the = sign add your Vin.

My sticker for a July 23rd build date is not available yet.

Ordered June 15th and got an estimated ETA of August 6th today. I noticed from others it seems Ford is estimating a 2 week delivery time for all orders. I wonder how well this will hold up.

I had a Vin with in 2 weeks of ordering. I ordered my truck on May12th. Pull up the window sticker on May26 with a build date of Jun 4th. Took delivery on June 22nd. My truck had a hold put on it so it wasn't released from the factory until June 13th then put on a railcar on June 14th.

Mine isn't showing up. It says "file does not begin with '%PDF-'"

I used this site to get some basic info from the vin.

I found out my truck is being manufactured at the Dearborn plant in Michigan.
