Wheres my SD made? 2010

It has a "Kentucky Truck Plant - Home of the Super Duty" sticker in the window, but the door sticker doesn't say "MFD. BY FORD MOTOR CO. USA".

Thoughts?

1FT means it was built in the USA.

3FT would've meant it was built in mexico.

The "E" in the 11th position of your VIN says your vehicle was made in Louisville KY.

WHEW. I thought the dealer pulled the wool over my eyes when I read the top of the door sticker and it didn't say USA. I thought that was one of the diffrerences between a US-built and Mexican-built unit.

Jason - you might get a kick out of my radio install since you are in to the wiring/rigging/engineering side of things too I started up a thread here in the audio/video/electronics forum.

The eleventh digit E of your VIN denotes Kentucky Truck Jefferson County Kentucky. Check out Super Duty Tech at the top of the page, a lot of good info, you'll learn more about your SD.

Very nice writeup on the mobile install! I'd rep ya but I gotta spread it first.

Good info on the grounding. I think I need to do some of that (particularly the exhaust) on my truck to hopefully clean up my CB a little.

Some were built in the mexico plant, although word on the street is that these were destined to be shipped somewhere other than the US.

However, several members here report having a truck with 3FT in the VIN....

The parts were made there, but the truck was probably made in KY.
