My parents ordered a new f150 with a 5.0 a few weeks ago. Just started to wonder if it will come as a 17 or a 16.

 

The changeover to '17 model year happens in mid September, so unless there's a supply issue on that model, it should come as a '16.

 

You can't order 2017 F150's until July 18th.

 

You can still order a '16 today. I don't see anything listed as a delay, sometimes if a part is short it gets balanced out and you have to resubmit as a '17 order. No reason that should happen in this case. The plants don't switch over until Sept (DTP) and Oct (KCAP)

 

Thanks, was wondering how it worked. The truck is suppose to be getting built at the end of this month. I know I have saw other Ford vehicles with build dates earlier in the year that are the next model year. Had a 2008 f350 as a work truck that was built March 2007 must have been because of 2007-2008 model year changes.
