I just got my VIN yesterday after nearly 12 wks of waiting. Build week May 23rd. I guess I'm looking at the end of June now. The waiting is so frustrating!

I specifically asked my salesman about longer than his predicted two month wait. He brushed it off and said it has not happened to any of his past orders. I cant wait to give him hell about it when I pick mine up.

Cool, congrats! I was able to see my window sticker also by pasting my VIN in your link. What can be learned from the window sticker? Any tips on dates or anything? Thanks!

Not sure, I was hoping someone here knew how to decode this thing. It's supposed to be getting built tomorrow. Hopefully the good people of Dearborn are not thinking about the weekend when they're putting her together :)

Look for the number in the upper left of the window sticker that starts with 220. The numbers following that are the build date in the following format: yymmdd.

Technically it's really a 2 followed by YYYYMMDD...which I know is similar to what you said, but I'm a nerd so datetime stamp formats are all about specifics for me given what I do for a living. lol.
