Here is a good picture of the Brunello color. I was a little worried it wouldn't look right with the Ruby Red exterior, but I like it a lot. The bottom picture is a good representation of the Brunello color.

Congrats, I was torn between Ruby & Fire Bronze, but Fire Bronze won since it matches our camper.

However, there was paperwork in my truck that looked like it may have been built in Sept. 2015. Just curious. appreciate any and all thoughts!

The date is written in euro style, DD/MM/YY.

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum so I will start out with a dumb question. How long does it take usually to get a VIN from date of order? I have been reading through the threads and see that there are some online tools to track orders once you get VIN. Etis is one. Is there another and will it work for Canadian orders? I have ordered a 16 KR 3.5 sb 4by. Thanks in advance. Cheers

That seems a little odd. They should have produced a VIN by now if you ordered that long ago. You should almost be getting the truck by now! No. I ordered 11/21.

VINs are generated on thursdays usually. From what I have been told, you order with the dealer, and dealers orders are pulled every thursday. VIN should be available after that.

The approximate timeline should be in the first post in this thread... its too hard to find otherwise.

I ordered 11/16 and have a Vin# However I can only get the VIN# to work in ETIS, COTUS doesn't provide any details, is this a common issue? Chad, was a big help, and confirm my truck should be built during the middle of December.

COTUS does not yet work with any 2016 orders. The best way to figure out its status is to message Chad, per Chad
