2015 Order Guide
#2
LONE STAR
No, nothing yet. I was at the dealer today and my friend who runs the dealership said that June will be the last month to order a 2014 and he now expects 2015's to be on dealer lots Sept/Oct.
Previously, he thought it would be Nov/Dec for 2015's. We should see 2015 order information April/May I would think.
The Rouge facility will be shutdown first for retooling and then Kansas City later. There will be 2014/2015 trucks on the same line initially.
As an example, below is the information for the 2015 Mustang. The car should be on dealer lots in the fourth quarter.
06/20/2014 – 2014MY Mustang – Job Last Date
05/13/2014 – 2015MY Mustang – Order Bank Opens
06/12/2014 – 2015MY Mustang – Scheduling Begins
08/11/2014 – 2015MY Mustang – Job #1 Date

Only reason I think it'll be later like Nov/Dec is because don't forget they're shutting down the plants for 13 weeks to redo them for the aluminum switchover! So if last month to order a 2014 is June and let's say they build the last one on June 30, then start the switch over July 1, the factory wouldn't be ready to start building new trucks until mid October at the earliest!

You could be right, the only thing is......Ford has said that they will be building 2014 and 2015's on the same line. So perhaps they will still be building 2014's past June because I can't see them building 2015's as early as June.
