I saw ad for the 2021 on my Facebook feed in the last few days. No pictures were posted, but the prices were indicative of Lariet high and above.
These ads were from the dealer I ordered my vehicle from.
Debating on whether or not I should take a ride up and have a look.
But, not really interested in the upscale trucks at all.
Too much stuff that I would never use or care to learn about.
AC , tilt, cruise, buckets—- that will keep me pretty happy
Power windows, power seat, and a Bluetooth phone connection are just perks

The picture shows tailgate and it's a Platinum. Look at the bottom pad on the drivers seat in these photos. That leather is missed up. I wonder if these are just photos of a truck "Ford drive event" had taken around for viewing and they just took photos of it to look like they had one. Seems to early yet for dealers to be receiving any.

Noticed some of the photos are waterfront and one of the interior shots appears to show promotional material in the upper section ... getting a bit "CSI Ford" but I agree w/Bob that I don't think these photos were from the dealership!

Meantime, anyone else find it odd there are no media reviews of the F150 yet ... if trucks are hitting dealerships, this is well overdue and a bit puzzling ....

That is a good point, there are many dealer and customer reviews from the Ford ride events on you tube. But I have not see or read any of the commercial/truck mag reviews you usually see about this time.

I think all of the trucks are in route. They will be there in days, but I haven’t found any online that are actually on the lot. Just a little marketing.

100% photoshopped from this ford event... super obvious that it wasn’t actually in front of their brick wall. I don’t think any have made it to dealerships yet.
Good detective work! Nothing new with a lying car dealership. Lol

Yeah, I searched autotrader earlier and no one had a real image. This one was obviously photoshopped. It just didn’t add up. Others were on to them too. I expect them to hit lots within a few days, but they aren’t there yet.

Tomorrow I hope to get this weeks production info, as before I will add it to a new thread to keep it separate and easy to see.

This is a quote from Jim Farley that was given recently and was a positive indication.

Farley says the changeover of the F-150, the automaker’s most important product, is running smoothly with a methodical sell-down of older models. “I’m delighted to say that we’re in good shape in important areas of readiness for these launches. Software, the hardware engineering is done, supplier manufacturing readiness looks great.

“In fact, right now all-new F-150s are rolling off the line in Dearborn as we speak and production will soon start at Kansas City (MO),” he says.

I have been in touch with two Ford dealers now. The dealers know what is coming, but Ford has not told them when. They are encouraged by the 'Just Arrived' tags on the Ford Inventory search.

A few folks said they were shopping GMC, which I have looked at too. If I were going to ditch my 2021 plan, I would still go 2020 Ford. There is a fully loaded Platinum here in town that for the right money would be tempting. Also, GMC is about to update the interior for 2022 to mirror the Yukon and be more in line with competitors.

As always, thank you for this. I am glad to see that the production is going well. I’ll be anxiously awaiting the update and hopefully there is some good work surface news.
