It was the 3362nd '24 MY VIN issued.

Got it, thanks. Any idea what the A stands for?

If they build more than 99,999 it will change to B.

The A indicates this is the first run of 99999. My unbuilt 2022 ended in "B04634" as it would have been the 104634th Maverick built.

Let's just tell you what they all represent.

• The first character tells you where in the world the vehicle was built. It tells you the country of origin.
• The second character denote the manufacturer.
• The third character tells you the vehicle type or division.
• The fourth through the eighth characters tell you the vehicle brand, body style, engine size and type, model, and series.
• The ninth character is a security code that identifies the VIN as being authorized by the manufacturer.
• The tenth character is the model year of the car.
• The eleventh character tells you which plant assembled your car.
• The last six numbers (or in the case of the Mavericks since 2022, an A before the first 99,999 assigned a VIN and a B before those assigned a VIN in the 100,000-199,999 range) are the specific vehicle production number representing the serial number of the vehicle.

They don’t include the letters O (o), I (i), and Q (q) (to avoid confusion with numerals 0, 1, and 9).

Do we know that Ford starts at A00001?

I know some manufacturers start at A10001 or A00501 for whatever reason so you have to adjust to say it's the xxxxth one built.

We have seen A002XX as the lowest reported VIN here. Given MTC members represent a fraction of the actual Maverick customer base, it is safe to assume Ford starts at A00001.

per ford

Numerical Sequence Number Identifier, 12 – 17
The final remaining sequence is specific to Ford and doesn’t provide a lot of information about the vehicle specifically. The final sequence provides a random but unique sequence that is assigned by the assembly plant to breakdown vehicles between make (Ford or Lincoln), passenger car, and then whether it’s a truck, bus or even incomplete.

This Window Sticker was from a 2022 Maverick XLT Hybrid that was at the State Fair of Texas on 9/30/2021.

It has the last 6 digits of A00173
