At dealerships in September???

So I called our local dealership today seeing if they had any info on the new F150's and they said they don't expect to have them until late September or October... I called another dealership in the area and they said the same thing- can anyone confirm this? I'm having a hard enough time waiting until August!

If I remember right, Job 1 for the 09 F-150 is July 23, with a 2-3 week quality hold which would put them starting to deliver 2nd week in August so I would say earliest models will be late August and Early September.

Job 1 has been delayed till 8-8-08.

Are you sure on the date? Usually JOB 1 falls on a Monday, not a Friday...

I knew the '09 Super Duty JOB 1 date was pushed out a couple of weeks, but I have not heard anything on the F-150's. Yet...

Distribution Notices still state 7/23/08, not 8/8/08.

Yup, that is what I am still showing too, 07/23/08. But then again maybe anike7 knows somthing that we do not and the D/N has not been updated yet?

The only reason I questioned the 08/08/08 date is because it is a Friday. JOB 1 dates are usually a Monday thing.

I was informed of the 8-8-08 job 1 date by a core member of the launch team at DTP when we were building test 09's about a week and a half ago. I asked if it had been changed from 7-23-08 and he said yes.

Also, 7-23-08 is a Wednesday and 8-8-08 is a Friday. So neither date is a Monday which is wierd.

wonder if there will be a delay if the 08's dont sell.

I am guessing with the gas prices ford is in no real rush so they probably will make sure all the bugs are worked out before production which is a good plan.

Will order banks still open on 5-16?
