From a sales manager at a large dealership in Washington:
"We will be ordering 2020 F150s until May. They will be retooling the plants for the all new 2021 trucks. The Dearborn plant will shut down in May. It builds the higher trim levels (Lariat, Platinum, King Ranch, Limited, Raptor) so those orders will need to be in before April. The other plant will continue building XL, STX, and XLTs until late May or early June. The issue we run into as a production run ends is that some options may not be readily available."

When I was procrastinating on ordering my 2020 I was told the same thing with regards to 2020 orders closing soon and dealers having to rely on whatever inventory they had until 2021's hit the lots in the fall. From what I was told we won't see an official 2021 until it is too late to order a 2020.

All Ford needs to do really is match Ram's interior. The F150, which is going on 6 years old at this point, is competing just fine with the "latest and greatest" from Ram and GM. If Ford can keep the positives for their current trucks while improving on the negatives(ride quality and interior are really the only two things I think they lag in), they should have a homerun.
I just hope we don't lose HDPP.

- interior 100% for sure
- quality of the ride
- 10 speed issues
- equipment

My thought would be there will be a fair amount of trucks on the lots when the 2021s show up. Dealers aren't going to sit around and wait for sales with their lots and show rooms empty, so I have a feeling they'll order on the heavy side.

The downside is, the values on our current trucks will drop as soon as the new truck hits the floor. Happened when the 2015 rolled out, gonna happen again. When my 2014 got totaled, the value was 5K less than a similar 2015 with more miles. Was not very happy. I'm not planning to trade, but if for some reason it gets totaled, I wont be happy with the outcome in any sense of the matter.
