Window sticker question when ordering
Hi all, random question as I ordered a 2021 King Ranch on 3/10. When you custom order and your truck comes in, do you still get a physical window sticker? I've never ordered before so I'm curious, as I like to keep the window stickers from all my previous vehicles. No idea why, maybe I'm weird. Thanks!

You'll get a physical window sticker when the truck arrives (usually folded in the glovebox). Once you get your VIN, you can download a PDF version of your window sticker online at the following address:

The PDF on that link has an extra 1/2" border above what exists on the physical printed window sticker. That extra upper border has information.
The PDF has blank boxes in the bottom left corner that are all populated w/ information on the printed window sticker.
Everything else appears identical between that PDF and the printed window sticker.

Excellent thanks! Had a huge tree limb come down on my 2019 lariat from a freak wind storm and mangle it pretty good. When I found out they have to pull the entire interior to do the repairs I thought it through and said nah, who knows what problems are down the road. Trading it in and cant wait for the King Ranch to show up!

By law it has to have the Monroney window sticker - special order or not. BTW, I have most if not all of the window stickers from all of the cars/trucks I've purchased over the years.

My truck was built in October 2020 and the link tells me that "the window sticker has not yet been released for this vehicle".

Here's the text selected in Firefox:
All the blue blank blue areas contain the hidden text.
And here's the PDF opened in Acrobat and the overlaying image selected:
In Acrobat, use the "Tough up Object" tool to select the overlaying image then right-click and select delete to reveal the text underneath:

That information is also on the downloaded window sticker - it's just covered up with a blank image. If you have PDF editing software, you can select the image over the blank areas and delete it and the text will show up. If you don't have any PDF editing software like Acrobat, you can open the window sticker in a browser and then click and drag to select the hidden text in the boxes. You can then copy the selected text and paste it into a text editor like Notepad to see what is written there.
