That if they rely on truck color to tell the difference between model year production, they're in dire need of an inventory system upgrade...

On the last day of the MY they must build all fleet trucks, and there is no other way to describe the changes on the 2015 Ford F-150 unless you use the word "historic."

Yep. And majority if fleets ordered are white. I am guessing changeover has begun.

Fleet vehicles are not typically on dealer lots. They typically are for large companies (utility, rental, government etc)

Yeah, in my rural locale it is not uncommon to observe a mowed field out behind some remote chicken ranch, nursery, or whatever with dozens of identical white pickups or vans...obviously intended for mass transfer to some local business, utility, etc.

I can't tell if your being sarcastic or not

You realize that 1000 trucks is like 18 hrs of production. Its 1/30 of the output of dearborn. Those 1000 alone, if in fact fleet, could be just one week of deliveries to Chicago.
