Preproduction and a build date, where do I find the VIN?

[neririn]

I have moved to preproduction for my F150 Lightning Lariat ER and have a build week 5/9 on the Ford website. But seemingly like others on this site, I dont have an email to that effect, or any indication about my VIN. How are people finding them? I see reports of people experiencing a delay between the site being updated and the email. That said, it has been a week since the change on the website occurred. I would have expected any email to have arrived by now. I get plenty of other emails from Ford, including my order invite, so it isnt a spam folder issue.

You have to look in the CSS code on the web page. There's instructions in one of the threads about the order acceptance.

Best way is just to call your dealer - they can give it to you.

Thank you FRAUTUMN!
I have tried all the methods to find my VIN and had no success, but your method was simple and worked perfectly
