Why is my blend date before my build week?

[roontoon]

I got my window sticker (yea!!) and I noticed that my blend date is 12/13/22 and my build week is the week of the 19th. How could the blend date be before the build is suppose to start?

Got to have all your parts on hand before it can go down the line

I don't get into the weeds of this stuff, but I believe that your blend date is the day all parts are on hand to do your build. In this case, Tuesday 12/13. Your truck will be put together next week.

That is the invoice date. Common mistake.

There is no blend date on the maverick sticker.

What's the difference? If Ford is going to invoice the dealer for the vehicle isn't is safe to assume that all the parts are ready to assemble it? AKA a blend date?
