2021 F250 order.


Recommended Posts

Yes, it happened to me in 2018. Since model changes are minor most years, it should have little effect on your order. The order backlog is normal every year. Production is usually shut down in June for the change over and you should have yours go down the line in July, soon after the line starts up again. That assumes the chip shortage this year gets fixed soon. On the bright side, your model is gonna carry the 2022 designation.

Incorrect. Annual summer shutdown is normally the first two weeks of July but Ford announced today that the shutdowns are being cancelled at almost all plants to make up for lost production due to the microchip shortage. In addition, the initial production for the new Model Year is restricted to Dealer stock orders until the "Okay to Buy" status is achieved and retail orders usually don't start scheduling until after that.

Can't imagine ok to buy being delayed in this quiet year.

 

Not sure what you think quiet is... Plants down because of microchip shortages? Demand is outstripping supply so the market is anything but quiet. And the "Okay to Buy" status requirement (5 consecutive days of production with zero defects) doesn't change.
