2023 Lightning Lariat ER
My order is Scheduled for production next week 11/21 (Lariat ER). I had thought that I would have seen a blend date and window sticker by this point, but nothing yet. Anyone else having similar results?

Take a look at your ford.com online order/reservation, you might see a change in the build week, possibly to 12/5 or later. If it has not changed, then possibly you have a typo on the VIN your searching, welcome to share it with me in a DM so I can verify., or you can try validating it with this utility --- Check Digit Calculator

Following up on what @TaxmanHog suggested. Your VIN may have changed due to the switch from All-Season to All-Terrain tires. If extract your VIN from your order status page again you may find that it is different from the email for sent and/or previous status results.

Come to think of it, that tire change is about the time is stopped working. Do you have a link to the details on getting the VIN by chance?

This is the method I used and it got me squared away. Credit to @REDHORSECA and @TaxmanHog
  • Firefox
  • Login to your Ford.com/ MY ACCOUNT/ go into your Lightning "Reservation & Orders" page
  • Click "View" to see your Lightning's configuration info "YOUR ORDER"
  • Make sure your Lightning is "Scheduled for Production" with a build date "Week of #/##/2022".
  • [F12] to go into Firefox the browser's "Developer Tools"
  • My Firefox Developer Tools shows up on the bottom half of the main browser window. In some cases, it may take the right side of the browser window.
  • In the Developer Tools larger window, select the [Network] tab and also the [XHR] tab on the upper rows of the Developer Tools window.
  • Click inside the Browser window Ford page and press [F5] for Firefox to refresh the browser page. Refreshing the "YOUR ORDER" web page will load up data into the Developer Tools window below.
  • On the upper bars of the Developer Tools window, there is a picture drawing of a tiny funnel "FILTER" for you you to input your Order Number ########. Enter only the numbers.
  • You'll probably get 2-3 hits in the filter results window below, look for the columns [Type] JSON/ highlight that specific record.
  • When you highlight that filter result a smaller window will show itself to the side.
  • In the smaller side window [Headers] tab is probably highlighted, click the [Response] tab and data will cache in the smaller window
  • Click the "Raw" slider switch to show the raw data. This is the final step that allowed me to see my VIN#.
  • Go and click in the smaller cache window results and highlight all the data [CTRL]+"A"
  • Open a Word or Notepad document, Paste [CTRL] + "V" all the data into the text document.
  • In the Word or Notepad Search for "1FTV" (the first letter is a number one), in my search results, My Lightning VIN# was very near the top of the data dump.
  • My VIN data looked like this: "catalogId":"WANAB-TFD-2022-F-150","vin":"1FTVW1EL1NWG05xxx"

That was the problem, I sent Ryan his new VIN and pre-formated hyper link to his sticker.

I'm going to look a bunch of VIN's that were recently scheduled for stickers but did not generate for this revision.

An easy way to revise your own VIN, paste the original in this utility [ Check Digit Calculator ], but change the fourth digit from 6 to V, then check validation, the algorithm will propose a new check digit, replace the old check digit with the proposed value [ninth character], run the check again it should come up valid, then use that revised VIN in your window sticker query

Thank you both for all your help. I was concerned. ?

Just found my window sticker everything looks spot on. Super excited about how early this is being built. I was convinced I was SOL for the $7,500 rebate. There’s still hope… ?

2023 F150 Lightning Lariat ER - Anti-matter Blue
Ordered First minute when F150 Lightning was revealed, has super low reservation number but got skipped by dealer and other customers paid extra to be first.

I finally got invited to oder 2023 wave 3 (after got skipped out 2022 Wave 1-7). Build week 11/21 (original Build date was 11/23 got moved up to Blend/build on 11/21 recently).

Got window sticker on the 11/10 confirmed the dates, Today just got the Tear Tag and module as popped. 24/556 of the assembly line order for the build-week 11/21/22.

Hopefully to able to make delivery before end of the year.

Boys - keep your hopes up. --- I got 2023 Lariat ER without Bed-liner, no additional options, and (all the chip shortage stuff got removed heated steering, advanced security, and scale/balance like everybody else). This sucks but it's not a deal breaker

Ford Charge station pro from sun run already contacted to setup delivery (but i have a tesla charger will just buy an adapter for it.
