Default Changes in 2013 KC and DB Production Start Times!

I check the industry [Ordering and Production Schedule] website nearly everday, to see if there are any changes; in that regard, I immediately noticed tonight, that there was boldened print on the page which was not there before. And behold, the production start-up dates for both KC and DB, have changed; with KC 2013 F-150 production starting over this weekend!!

Hopefully, next we will see the new Ford 2013 Build & Price webpage come up very soon?? But then again, they may still wait until after the big Labor Day weekend sales event, before putting that info up for the world to see?


Newly posted F-150 2013 'Production Startup' Dates:

F150 KC--08/17/12

F150 Dearborn--09/10/12

Some of that information isn't correct. The order cut-off went past 6/22/2012

Is there any way to tell which models will be built at each location? I'm really hoping my Limited isn't going to be built in Dearborn, if they're not starting production until 9/10/12. I'd like to get my truck quicker.

I don't think this is true. Maybe for DTP. But not for KCAP.

I was merely reporting the 'change' in dates which I observed, just in the past 24-36 hours, at this website.

Moreover, whoever made the change/update, also added some bold type, which also was not there before the change; wherein the production start date was previoulsy listed as August 27th; for both AP's. Also, another change was the separation of the two production plants; perviously there was just one (collective) line entry for F-150 production.

I think once we get past the big Labor Day weekend sales-push--12 more days--we all will all know a lot more. Furthermore, I still hold the belief we will see new product on dealer lots, much sooner than some may think.
