Vin numbers mean nothing as far as build date. It's been discussed time and time again.

-- Get your DORA from your dealer, and verify it to ensure that what has been ordered is EXACTLY what you are expecting - I insisted that I sign off on it to make sure - good thing I did too, because there was an error on it.

-- Payload Package has been known to delay delivery, as is bedliners.

-- There seems to be alot of dates slipping as of late, so I would get ready for a bit of a long haul wait.

Thanks for the insight.

You have me a bit nervous now. If the truck arrives and isn't exactly what I'm expecting I will walk away and demand my $500 deposit back.

Has anyone's custom order ever been wrong?

Mine was produced April 11 in Dearborn and I picked it up one week later on April 18 in Charlotte NC! It only took 7 days to get here, I was shocked.

Here it is.

Question About Order

I ordered mine on 3-29-16. My salesman is also the sales mgr., I have not heard anything about my order.

I thought they would contact me with a vin or approx build date, but nothing in 4 wks.

I will stop by and see whats up, but if there is info as far as a build date, should I be asking to see the build sheet to be sure what I ordered is on the build correctley?

Thanks for any input!

With the VIN you should be able to goto the research mechanics web site and get your window sticker which should match the DORA (but the DORA is gospel)

Normally the dealer either negotiates with you to take it with the wrong bit and compensates you, unless it's really something you didn't want, and then a re-order has to happen or it's fixed by the dealer.
