That's not exactly it.What you do is call your dealer---who will have the factory assigned 17-digit VIN on hand. I talked to the salesman who read it to me over the phone. Then call Ford's 800 number. Duck all the recorded messages till you get a live human on the line & read her the VIN number. She will give you the delivery date---mine is 11/12 !!!!!!!!!!!!Yoweeeee!
