I believe you get your VIN when your truck gets scheduled for production, which is not a set time after the order is confirmed. It comes down to which weeks they are actually scheduling Ranger builds. My order was confirmed on Jan 12th, build date/ VIN email received Jan 20th, build date was...

I wouldn't be happy in your shoes. For reference, my Lariat Tremor order was placed Jan 11th through my dealer. The dealer asked what email address I wanted to use for the Ford order updates and Ford sent me an order confirmation email the next day. On Jan 20th Ford provided a VIN and let me...

Wow! That tracking link gave me my window sticker, while the Ford tracker doesn't have it?!?! Sticker was created today, blend date of 3/16. Getting a bit more real now!

Same here. Lariat Tremor, ordered Jan 11th, was 3/7 build, slipped to 3/14, no sticker yet and no recent updates.

That is basically what I'm doing. It is a Wrangler that I try to keep off the salted/ treated roads anyway, and is used more during the other three seasons, so there will be very little additional mileage on it. I had planned to strip the Jeep of most of the mods, but the dealer said their deal...

My purchase agreement for an order placed 1/12/22 has a $1,000 and a $500 retail order incentive applied. No additional details or codes are given, but I think the $500 additional is what my local dealer does on their factory orders. Their story is that they will honor the $1,500 off even with...

Real nice build you have! Do you have any in the bed photos showing how you mounted your fridge slide? I'm planning on the SmartCap as well with my GFC Superlite on top, and considering either mounting a 3/4" plywood sheet to the bed, to then bolt my fridge slide to, and some L tracks for...

Same here, Lariat Tremor ordered 1/12 and scheduled for build week of 3/7. Trailer tow pkg & 501A. Gives me time to ponder Bullet or X-Line bed liner, get a cap on order, and hopefully decide on rock sliders to be ready for trails and camping after New England mud season.

Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere on here, but exciting to see that SmartCap announced that they are hiring for their new Fort Worth, TX manufacturing site which will ramp up in the next few months. I was on the phone with their South Africa office a few days ago and it was mentioned that...

Thanks for the heads up. I was set on putting a cargo slide in the bed, but will hold off on that. My tent is about 90 pounds, but the payload capacity sure gets eaten up quickly!

Thank you @onespeeed ! I was hoping to hear it was something like that, but needed to be sure for my tent.

I have a request for any SmartCap (5ft bed) owners, would someone please take a measurement of the max useable length of the top rails? Basically I am looking for how far apart, front to back, crossbars could be installed measuring center to center. Thanks in advance.

I’m Northwest of Boston inside 495. Are you going to keep the Rubicon stock? I think I was asking too much of the MOPAR lift which lead to most of my issues. Plus, that auto in your Jeep is great. As much as I’m a manual fan, I’d take your transmission any day for road trips.

In stock form the Jeep was much better on the road compared to lifted, but even stock will always be louder and wonder a bit compared to IFS and a permanent roof. My son and I drove it from MA to CO and UT in 2020 for camping and wheeling and boy was that highway drive a handful. 6 speed manual...

You are so right that it never ends. I got the Jeep to a point where it met my trail and camping goals for here in New England, but now that I have a Ranger on order, some spending is about to start back up again. At least things like the awning, roof tent, fridge, air compressor, and recovery...

I'm assuming your new JL has the plastic bumpers. Have you considered picking up a stock take off metal front bumper from someone local that is selling theirs? I've been running my stock metal bumpers on my JLUR for four years with a winch and some BajaDesigns lights, and I have been happy with...

Congrats on the new order! My '22 Tremor Carb Gray was just accepted yesterday as well. We can race to see if your XLT makes it through the factory before my Lariat. I'm hoping skipping the spray in liner helps with lead time. Trading in a 2018 Wrangler JLU Rubicon, and while I will miss the 6...

Placed an order yesterday, '22 Tremor Lariat Carb Gray. Received an order confirmation from Ford this morning but will hold back the excitement best I can until it gets built. My dealer wasn't able to add the spray in bed liner or the Securicode options on a '22, so they must have been having a...
