The last coupe of times I've visited the Ford Vehicle Order Tracker I've noticed that the order number and VIN fields were filled in, not with my order number and VIN, but from another random user, presumably the person who submitted a request right before me. If you hit the "Accept and Track" button, it will display the info of that order, so it appears to be valid data. Seems like a bit of a security flaw in the ole https server that needs addressing.

Beware your information may not be secure if you use this site.

Meh.. what’s the harm? You can get the order number from just the vin by looking at the window sticker anyways.

Still happening. I can't get status on my order, just a a 2022 Platinum F-250, no matter what I put in the order number and VIN fields.

Site seems to have been corrected now. No longer showing previously cached (not mine) VIN's and order numbers. Was able to get my car's status for the first time in a while. Unfortunately, no magic updates telling me my car will be here sooner.

Anybody spin the wheel and get a GT Mk II yet? They seem to be randomizing the order data. Just wondering who hit the powerball??? ?

Ok so I’m not getting anyone else’s info populated, but now when I enter my info and hit accept and track, I’m just brought right back to the tracker asking for order number and vin again. Anyone else?

Just tried it this am and it appears to be fixed. When I pulled up the page, the fields were empty and when I entered my info, it pulled up my order. Dang still in the infinite ship state. Ugh.
