2015 F-150 Order Guide and Start Up Date


Bryan1

Recommended Posts

Ford has not yet, officially, released the model changeover schedule for the 2014/2015 Model Year F-150. What has been released and/or discussed in various forums is 4th Quarter 2014 availability of the all-new 2015 F-150 with the Dearborn plant being retooled first and then the Kansas City Plant being retooled several months later. As such, Ford will be building 2014MY & 2015MY F-150's at the same time for at least several months. The all-new 2015 F-150 with the reported aluminum body panels is a MAJOR change for the pickup market and Ford is going to be very diligent in making sure that there's enough inventory available while they work out any production issues with the changeover.

 

I wouldn't expect to see the 2015 F-150 Order Guide released for some time. We might see it in late May or early June. Until then, all discuss is just speculation!

Yeah. Order date starts on July 16th so the order guide should be out around that time.

Goes along with what I was told when I talked to someone at Ford Credit today to extend my current lease. Holding off to get a 15 F150....she claimed they were being told mid July is when the dealers will start taking orders.

I expect the order guide will be out tomorrow. I for one can hardly wait. Although I will wait for a MY16 and the extra gears and (hopefully) smoked headlights. Maybe MY17? Perhaps if I wait long enough a (FINALLY) newly skinned Super duty with a DI 6.2L will be more to my liking. Either way won't be cheap!

And today is the 15th. Order acceptance is to begin tomorrow, but it will be hard to know what to order, unless the order consists of simply "surprise me"

According to another dealer today...we can expect to be able to place orders sometime between mid-July and August 1st.

Mike Levine said in a tweet 2 weeks ago that the order banks don't open on July 16th. Hopefully Mike is wrong and ice-capades can post the order guide today.

Possibly we are now looking at a 7/28/14 order date. Check out the latest fleet order dates; http://www.bblfleet.com/fleetdocs/ford_buildout.pdf

 

If I am reading this correctly, it looks like you could still order a 2014 MY truck when the 2015 MY order banks open. Is that because Dearborn and KC are doing different builds right now as far as models are concerned?

Yes, that is my understanding. The KC plant is still building 2014's, while the Dearborn plant is currently offline, and gearing up for 2015 F150 Lariat and higher model production.

The Dearborn Truck Plant will have its 2014MY Job Last Date 08/24/2014. The DTP will then be down for retooling and will start 2015MY F-150 production with a Job #1 Date 10/20/2014. Scheduling for DTP production is due to start on 08/14/2014.

 

The Kansas City Assembly Plant (KCAP) is completing 2014MY F-150 scheduling now even though that plant will not complete 2014MY F-150 production until 12/23/2014. There is no published schedule yet for KCAP's 2015MY Job #1 Date.

 

The above is from last week's Fleet Distribution News Bulletin and is subject to change at any time. The FDNB is published each Friday and is available to Dealers late Friday or early Saturday.

 

I'll post updates as more information from Ford becomes available!
