How long after placing a order does the VIN # become available? Do I have to get the VIN from my Ford dealer or is there another way?

Welcome to the forum! Your dealer should give you your VIN, but the timing depends on a number of factors, including the options you have ordered, and whether the parts are in stock for your build to take place. In general this may take from 3-8 plus weeks.
