Anyone ever see this window sticker?
Its probably a run-of-the mill truck in which they pulled it off the line and did some dyno tests and/or other non-invasive QC checks.
But since I'm superstitious, I would skip it (unless it was the truck I wanted with a lower price)

The original sticker is here: http://fordlabels.webview.biz/webvie...ex1em6ckd01710
It's a 3.7 V6, not an ecoboost. Every F150 is dyno tested before it leaves the plant to test for noise, vibration and harmonics.
That sticker says it is going to the Ford test facility in Allen Park, MI. There are a lot of tests on new vehicles. This vehicle will probably have extensive tests done to it including testing on the track and removing many parts to check for correct assembly and tolerances. Eventually, it will be auctioned off. Depending on how extensive the tests, it could be for parts.

I just cannot figure out why they would even put the truck on a dealers lot?!

This site (and others) can get the sticker: http://researchmaniacs.com/VIN-Numbe...cker/Ford.html
No idea why it would go to PA, the destination on the original sticker has no destination, which is weird, the one in the original post says Allen Park, MI.
