Hello,

I am about to place an order for a car and wondering how I would if my car is job 1 or job 2 model. Browsing around this forum, I realized this is important as the updates depend on that classification.

Job 1 were the early built cars (though around July 2021). If you're placing an order now, it won't be Job 1 or Job 2. It will be a 2022.

Build date before July 2021 is Job 1. VIN less than 43000 is about the cut off for Job 1 vs Job 2. I have 038 and It was a Job 2.

Look and see if it has a physical button for turning off traction control next to the headlight dial. If it does, it's Job 2. If it doesn't it's Job 1. That's really the only hardware difference other than the fact that Job 1 cars came with dividers in the frunk. Everything else is just software, and they should eventually be the same. Until there's a software update, Job 1 cars don't have BlueCruise and can't open the frunk electronically.

Yes - it does have a traction control button next to headlight dial. Thank You!

I haven’t checked the door, but from what I’m reading, I have a job 2 car. I got mine off the lot, but new. I have the traction control button, but electronic opening of the frunk?! I have a select AWD without the tech and comfort package. So, is that just a package/trim thing, in regards to the frunk?

If you have the physical button for traction control, your car is Job 2. You should be able to pop the frunk from the Access section on the center screen or from the FordPass app. Those aren't enabled yet on Job 1 cars.
