The fact that Ford kept the same body for 2021 is beyond me: its dated back to 2015. To my opinion, it’s still a beautiful design, but the other big 3 competitors updated theirs for 2019.

How long do they plan to keep this design? No complaint: our 2015-2020 model will
keep their value longer.

It's not the same body. Every exterior panel is new, except for the roof.

Order bank for the 2021 opens on May 11th. Looks like each plant will be down for a month to change over. DTP in July and KCAP in August.

We don't know that for sure. Besides, the same can be asked about the GM twins keeping the same interior and Ram keeping the same engines. No shortage of GM fans complaining about the interiors and no shortage of Ram guys complaining about the engine lineup not being updated.

Random question. Why does the f150 come in either column shifter or one in the center console. But f250s and up just have column shifts

I dont really like the design. Honestly on that limited edition I expect chrome mirrors. I think the current f150s mirrors would look great on that truck

I think it has to do with the sole purpose of the super duty: work. If anyone has has an opinion about that please share

Got ya. I just looked around there's places that can switch it to the console shifter if you want. Looks exactly like the f150.

Well, I consider myself having a sharp eye to distinguish small details/differences, so if every exterior panel is new, it seems I’m loosing it.

I sure can see different grill, bumpers, headlight, tailgate, mirrors, tail lights, but most body shapes look the same to me.

Well, I’ll look harder !

I agree with you. While it may be a "new" design, it`s not new enough to be ..well..New. This is of course just my opinion, but I`ll be keeping my `15
