Here is what I get from Ford
VIN: 1FTPW04537KD28970
A valid 17 character VIN should be entered. Please go back and try again.
Is your Vin # correct

I think you may want to check the number. I tried it on a different system and it came up an "invalid". What model is the truck?


LOL! it looks like we posted at the same time!

Ford trucks are no longer built in Canada the Oakville truck plant closed in 2004 I believe, The 2nd Generation Lightnings were built there as well as the first year harley F150, it was one of the top truck plants for quality from what I understand as well

BTW, first digit of the VIN# is the country code


1 = USA
2 = Canada
3 = Mexico
