I ordered a platinum on August 4, 2021 - Does anyone know what the actual process will be when they stop making 2021s and start making 2022 F150s?

Will some new 2022 orders bump the 2021 orders or will they finish out the 2021 orders or will we need to reorder or approve the flip to 2021?

No one at the dealer or Ford is being very transparent about the process.

Have a VIN? Your dealer is the representative for Ford, what is your dealer telling you? climb the sales ladder until they get you some answers.

I'm in the same situation. Ordered a Platinum Hybrid, 9/1/21. No VIN, currently unscheduled/clean, priority 12, per the dealer. I'm not sure that Ford has shared the 21 unfulfilled orders plan with dealers just yet.. I'm certain that Ford has a plan, I'm just not sure that it's been communicated to the dealers.

I think Ford plans to fill all the 2021 orders. If for no other reason than to make the 2021 books look better.

And someone correct me if I'm wrong, but once they assign a VIN to a particular vehicle, I don't think they can change that so if you have a 2021 VIN, I'd guess you'll be getting a 2021 truck.

Again... I'm not sure about that but I know VIN numbers are a VERY touchy issue with the law.

Regardless… FORD is AWESOME!

5/1 Order and still unscheduled clean. My dealer said that it will be converted over to 2022. He gave no details though.

Your points are all well made. But, I have no VIN.

if they can assign they can kill that vin too, as long as vehicle is not released in market.

I ordered mine a few days after you and got it yesterday the vin shows 2021 model. I traded in my ecoboost 2021 for a hybrid 2021 i have noticed improvements in the software, shifting and build quality.

Ordered Platinum in June, still unscheduled/clean.

Did you go for the secret optional adaptive steering? Not to be confused with adaptive cruise control. I hear they don't have any Platinum steering wheels without the extra motor.

Ordered my Platinum on June 14, still unscheduled clean. I added the adaptive steering on 8/3. Still no word from the dealer.

I ordered a Lariat 9/27. Tried to make a small change to running boards a week later and was told no changes, despite not having a VIN because the Ford rep stated no changes to 2021’s.
I strongly suspect I’m getting rolled to 2022, but no idea when that trigger point will happen

I got this from my dealer this morning: "We should be able to start converting by the end of the week. I don't think it makes you start over in line. I am looking into that. Give me a call Thursday or Friday to set it up."

I just got rolled to a 2022 from a march order. I wanted to add the black appearance package. I was also told no changes. (Even tho no vin)

I suspect mine has to do with the $1000 rebate ford is gonna give me for waiting so long. Also my crazy lease rate.

The way it has been explained, no orders are rolled, they are reordered. That being said, there should be no reason at all that you can't make a change with a new order.
