Furthering the mystery of my Lariat which had 55 miles on it when I first test drove it, is this Window Sticker. Did anyone else receive one of these with their Maverick?

That’s not your VIN on it is it lol. That number probably is a preproduction model.

In addition, notice the date at the bottom 8/23/21.

Basically, that’s not your window sticker. If it is, that dealership is in major trouble.

This is the vehicle I was sold. This was the window sticker I found in the glovebox when I was looking through the paperwork.

In other words they sold you what was supposed to be a demonstration model, that was meant to be used as a demo or reviewer vehicle. Ford could have released it for sale, but I sure would check with them about it. If it wasn't release for sale, you may have no warranty.

Popcorn time- your dealer is about to be your dealership I think.

Just to be sure... Are you saying that the VIN on the window sticker matches the VIN on your truck?

If it does, it's also possible it's an old copy of the sticker before the "Ok to Buy" was given. You should try putting your VIN in the tracker and see if there is a newer copy. Or go here (put your VIN in the URL).

NOTE: I tried that with what I can see of your VIN and here's what I got:

Yep. That's the VIN # that's on the truck. Just not the Window Sticker that came with the vehicle. I seen something similar on the dealers website as you posted when I first put down my deposit at the dealer.

Im sure it is what DryHeat said - a temp sticker until the OKTB was done.

That's the window sticker that showed up for people for the hybrid before it's epa rating was released. So it's just an older sticker. No biggy.
The hysteria was amusing though.

All kidding aside does this faux window sticker tell a unique story about the history of this truck.. As in an early production model or something "special" or just happenstance. Will Ford send me a proper window sticker if I request it?

Your question was already answered.
All hybrids were not allowed to be sold until early december due to required epa testing.
