Ford Order Tracking

Does the Ford Order Tracking web site work for Canadian orders? I have a S/N and build date from my dealer but when I enter the S/N the tracking site says there is no matching vehicle.

It should work. I'm in Montreal and as soon as I had the VIN, I could see my truck!

Try using wwwqa.cotus.ford.com. The other cotus site didn't work for me

Cotus has never worked for me. The ETIS site will give you an exact build day if you enter your serial number.

You can also go onto the Ford Canada Facebook page and send them an instant message. They are usually very quick about replying.

I got this from them yesterday;


Happy Monday Reid!

The vehicle is still in transit, the ETA we have is between the 27th and the 31st of March.

What a lot of people, not all, find is that until they get a VIN they cannot get a matching result. I go to ford chat ever 3 days, random I know, and ask them for a status update on my order. The chat agent I chat with has different database than what COTUS uses, or at least a different algorithm to search for the order. She said that she cannot see personal information and not sure why COTUS tries to match to a lastname as that is optional for dealers to enter, or spell correctly. However, once you get a VIN assigned and use your VIN to enter COTUS, then you still have a 50/50 chance of actually getting info from what I've heard.

None of the various COTUS sites has ever worked for me. However, others have had better luck.

I'm at the critical juncture of my order. The dealer says my build date has been moved up, and should be built any day. No sticker until the build starts.

I have a VIN, 1FT8W3BT4HED30619, but haven't been able to track through etis or cotus. Now I can't get into build and price. All build and price chat would give me was the build date. I'd like to have that warm fuzzy feeling that my order is correct.

The sticker will show up about 8-10 days before the build day. Best check with Ford chat!

Chat was able to give me April 15 as a delivery to the dealer.

She was unable to give me any other information.

She did say the window sticker will be with truck at delivery. That was helpful.

Interesting that Chat was able to get you a delivery data, were they able to tell you what status the order was in? I assume since you have no window sticker and no build date in ETIS yet, that you are sill in the "In Order Processing" status as I am, but I don't have a delivery date yet...

If you didn't have ETIS here is all it shows, just the default placeholder for the build date.

You can go to this site, add your VIN after the = sign, and your w/s will eventually show up. My understanding is that the build will start about eight days or so after the date in the gray area near the bottom of the w/s.

Thanks, I tried this site and still get the no vehicle message. Perhaps I am still to early in the process although I do have a build date from the dealer.

Interesting, as my (Canadian) dealer had no way of knowing when the build date would be. (Or so I'm told) In fact, I've given him more information about my truck order than he has given me.


Just keep entering your serial number on this page. Eventually it will show up.

My dealer had to contact Ford to have my order substituted for one they already had in the system so this may be why they have a build date. I really appreciate that they did this as it moved my trucks build up by about a month.
