How long does it take for an ordered lightning to recieve a vin #?

[Drayday55]

Hey People. I just placed the order for my truck on 6/14. And based on advice the dealer gave me I sold my current truck ( 2020 silverado 2500 LTZ gas). The new owner is taking it early next week. So ill be without a vehicle until my lighting arrives. Ford dealer told me that I should expect my new truck in 4th quarter 2022. I'm ok with that. But what I don't what to have happen is that I'm waiting all the way into 2023. I've asked for a Vin number several times but they wont give me one or tell me it's not available. They just say they are working on it.


I just need to see if the order truly is a 2022 and in that case i can plan on borrowing a vehicle.

Anyone have any idea how long it takes to get a Vin number assigned?

Settle in and take your shoes off. You're in for a bit of a wait partner.

Does it show on your account as an accepted order? Ford hasn't taken orders for MY 2023 yet, so if it's an actual order, you should get a 2022. I would be very surprised if Ford pushed any orders to MY23 given how late they are in scheduling, they know what they can make.

I would expect delivery sometime around November or December, but that's just making an educated guess.

Hi, thanks. Yes it's an accepted order. I paid my $500 and it shows on my account that the dealer accepted the order. It's been like this for about 2 weeks now. I'm stuck driving a sedan lol. Help me ford!

The dealer surprised me with a call in

Your build week and VIN are assigned at the same time. You can't have one without the other.

You should have it by the end of August, maybe sooner, sit tight........

Right on with your right on.

No way, build roughly late September.

No way, build roughly late September.

I think you're referring to the TRUCK, which I agree with you, but OP is asking when the VIN will come, that happens 30-60 days ahead of production and the last week or MY 22 production starts 10/3
