Short 2021 run?
Saw on another thread that donlen schedule ends 2021 superduty on 2/18/21. So I looked it up and that’s what it says. Why would it be such a short run? Or can that schedule change. Trying to cordinate my build schedule is why I am wondering.

I suppose it could change, it usually has an "as of" date for the info on that Donlen site.

Something has better improve soon. We have over 300 trucks on order, only 87 have been delivered and over half are on hold due to parts availability for aft fuel tank. This is the first year in my career where we have had Ram and GM regional fleet managers try to get our business. Hopefully we get fulfillment or we may get forced by the upper bean counters to buy whatever chassis platform they can get and I really don't want the GM medium duty platform.

From the looks of the current schedule I would say August or September which would be good with me. If any later than that I would want a 21

Seems that there is always a Job 1 end and a Job 2 start date in the spring, and the timing of this coincides as usual.

Why not? To me these are pretty interesting trucks...nice straight frame, built by IH, tilt forward hood, Duramax engine. They do sit a little higher than a Ford / RAM medium chassis, but that’s my only complaint. Other than the bow tie on the front, and that can be resolved by purchasing the International version.

Element Fleet is listing the following, posted Dec 24 2020:
2022 Ford F250/350/450/550/600: Order banks open Mar 15 2021, production begins Jun 1 2021
So it would appear Ford is trying to get back to their more traditional summer start of production for the next model year.
