Used Blue Oval forums for X Plan on my 2011 F350 & 2017 F450 pickups in the past. I am now in the market for a 2021 F-150 Lariat with Sport & Max Tow packages but with 6.5" bed that dealers never stock. Do you know what the last date for a dealer to place a customer ordered 2021 F-150? I'm not in a hurry, and actually the later in the year I can take delivery the better for my situation.

Bob The cut off for 2021MY F-150 orders will probably be mid-to-late June for the high end F-150 units which are all produced at the Dearborn Truck Plant. We'll know better in a few months when Ford updates the F-150 production and scheduling information. Keep in mind that orders placed at the end of the Model Year for "Balance Out" are subject to increased commodity restrictions depending on changes for the upcoming Model Year, supplier issues, etc. With the impact of Covid-19 and the recent weather and microchip shortages interrupting production everything is subject to change!
