Mine is RP26 RAIL which is the same as rwolfcastle's, and mine has not shipped, even though it has an earlier blend date. I've checked a dozen or so other RP26 orders and didn't have any luck finding one that has shipped except rwolfcastle's, which did indeed ship - I guess he was just lucky...
Shelter Green is only available for Raptors (correct me if I'm wrong on that). With that in mind, Shelter Green is actually very popular, accounting for 19% of Raptor orders.
Thanks for letting me know - I'll update my report later today.
I had tried a few hundred R4JH VINs and didn't get any data back so I gave up on it. I guess I didn't try hard enough. I'll try all combinations and get a new report up.
I don't know when the VINs were generated - All I know is the blend date that is on the window sticker. The data I have is only for VINs that have window stickers available for download (as of yesterday). All the window stickers I've downloaded have a blend date, even if it's in the future -...
Short answer: no.
Long answer: The last five digits have to match the 9th character in the VIN using a checksum calculation to make a VIN valid. So the last five numbers are not a sequence representing how many vehicles have been manufactured.
I would love to do that if it's possible, but the tracker has reCaptcha on the page that makes it pretty much impossible to automate it.
The window sticker does include the order number, so I have that information. I have used it to manually check the statuses of orders.
The window sticker...
I was curious, so I wrote a program to download all available 2024 Ranger window stickers, parse the data inside the PDFs, and run some reports.
I used the following patterns to generate valid VINs (using a checksum algorithm):
1FTER4PH{0}RLE12345" //XL
1FTER4BH{0}RLE12345" //XL...
I just looked up random statuses of 2024 Rangers posted on cars.com until I found one in "built" status. It took nine tries before I found one.
VIN: 1FTER4HH4RLE05318
Order: 181P
Status: Built (3/04)
Trim: XLT
My notes from the All Terrain Nation live event tonight:
OKTB did occur for Rangers, but not the Raptors.
52 were confirmed shipped (hopefully more by now).
OKTB for Raptors expected today or tomorrow (maybe).
All Terrain Nation has a Facebook Live event scheduled for this evening to answer the question, "Did the Ford Ranger finally get released?"
Not sure if they will share anything that we don't already know, but I'll tune in and let you guys know.
Edit: It looks like it'll also be on their...
