That's too bad. As I pointed out to Kroll, there are three classifications available for three-wheelers under federal rules in Canada - they needed to pick one and work with it. The three-wheelers...

The only example that I can think of offhand applies only in the U.S., and is primarily for "replica" manufacturers making less than 300 per year. There may not be any small-manufacturer advantage in...

Although this topic started with Escape's announcement of 440 trailers built in 2019, the production rate has been at least close to 400 per year since the expansion was completed.

Not only is the...

With any luck, the title correctly reflects the model year in the VIN (which should be "K" for 2019). So the restart in numbering is at the beginning of the model year (Dec 1), not the calendar year,...

Is it a 2018 model year VIN, or a 2019 model year VIN? The model year is indicated by the 10th character in the VIN: 2018 would be "J" and 2019 would be "K". It will be preceded by "2E9TF6B5" and one...

That sort of thing will happen, because they assign VINs then juggle the production order as necessary and don't confuse order tracking by changing the VINs. In this case it might be even simpler:...

Yes, "A" is the model year code (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_identification_number#Model_year_encoding) for both 1980 and 2010, and "8" is the code for 2008 (and will be again for 2038).

A bunch of people have shared VINs over the years (including Escape in their own for sale ads), and I was curious so I kept a list. Iowa Dave's 2013 21' fits right in.
