2019 Order Banks...
Well the 2018 changes were a total bust so doing a little back calculating... Assuming the super duty gets back on track with August arrival to dealers (yes probably isn't going to happen), typical order banks open the middle of May for August delivery. I noticed the member blwnsmoke posted the 2018 order banks back in April, or 5 months prior to the opening date, which would say IF the 19's are going to show up to dealers in August we should at least know order bank dates sometime in December...???
Thoughts? Am I totally off here?

If you think the 2019s will be any major difference from 2017 or 2018, you are smoking crack...

2018 was a carryover from 17 but 2019 will have new powertrain options including the new 10 Speed Auto and a eco-boost gas motor. A grill update, some package sorting and more availability on the LEDs. Possibly in auto-trac all-wheel-drive transfer case setting similar to the F150. Also heard rumblings of an aggressive off road package similar to the power wagon.

2018 is a total bust....uhh the truck was just completely overhauled from a truck that was essentially 17 years old and when Y2K was a concern....
2019 will be a color change and probably the ecoboost V8, but only after the GT500 comes out....

Nope never expected major changes, but they could have at least kept the same cab as the 150's and included the B&O stereo and wifi hotspot. For me wanting a platinum the truck went backwards by adding nothing new and removing the light up sillplates... So yes total bust! Trucks shouldn't get worse from year to year.

I am not sure I understand your question. The assumption was that since the 150/250/350 all share the same cab everyone thought that the 2018 super duty would also get the upgrades the 2018 150 received like the B&O stereo and the wifi hotspot. This makes sense from a manufacturing/volume/cost standpoint. The fact the super duty did not receive these changes for 2018 means they no longer share the same cab aspects. (stereo hardware is different, wiring harnesses, routings, cab antenna, etc.)
Just baffling as to why the super duty didn't follow suite with the 150

Also looking for reliable data...
I've seen a lot of opinions but no real confirmations. I'll buy an '18 tomorrow if there's no reason to wait for a '19. Can anyone say they have real insider info or is this just educated speculation? I'm super excited and ready to buy but I'll wait a few months if it's worth it...

I can confirm that the only real change is the Sport package option. My contact has the 19 Order Guide.

Can you ask your contact about the b&o stereo and wifi hotspot?
