Westfield, NC — The first production AGwagon has rolled off the assembly line. Serial number 0001 was purchased by and delivered to Jim Mueller, a rancher with operations in Missouri and Kansas.
Developed through an extraordinary partnership between The Certified Agriculture Group (TCAG), and FOX Factory Vehicles, the AGwagon brand truck is the world’s first purpose-built pickup designed by farmers and ranchers, for farmers and ranchers. A total of 28 functional modifications are made to the stock Ford, Ram, Chevy & GMC pickup trucks, making them far more durable and agriculture capable.
“We can’t wait to put this first AGwagon to work on our ranch,” says Mueller. “We’re so excited. This is beyond our wildest dreams – the best truck I’ll ever own.” Mueller and his family own and operate Whiskey Ranch with operations in Missouri and Kansas. The ranch raises, trains and markets Quarter Horses as well as operates a commercial herd of Angus cow-calf pairs and registered Angus bulls. Mueller purchased a Ford F350 AGwagon through Ewald Hartford Ford in Hartford, Wis.
In addition to the customized features on the truck, Mueller’s AGwagon also comes with AgPack, a full-service offering of exclusive discounts and rebates from leading agricultural brands. Altogether the offerings can add up to as much at $45,000 in savings if all 27 AgPack offers are redeemed. AgPack is complimentary with the purchase of every AGwagon and any qualifying new or pre-owned truck or SUV purchased from a Certified Agriculture Dealer.
“We couldn’t be happier to see this first AGwagon roll off the assembly line and be delivered to Jim’s ranch,” says Patrick Driscoll, CEO of TCAG. “There are many more to come and orders are filling up from farmers and ranchers across the country who want a truck designed specifically to meet their needs.”
“Working with FOX Factory in this partnership has been exciting,” added Lyle E. Orwig, managing partner at TCAG. “Their engineers listened closely to the needs expressed from the farmers and ranchers in our stakeholder groups and then worked with those farmers and ranchers for nearly a year to create the AGwagon.”
