I'm not sure when they will arrive, but when I bought mine (2001) a few weeks ago I was told they stopped production of 2001 and started 2002's in the first week of June. This was from the fleet manager at the Ford store, who strikes me as a pretty reputable guy. Hope this helps.
As for the changes for 2002, I talked to a dealer here in Washington and found that very few changes are taking place. First, the wedgewood blue is being replaced with a true blue metallic that is currently available on the 2001 supercrews. The Lariat truck will have an automatic climate control available as an option. You will also be able to order to overhead video entertainment system in conjunction with the power moonroof. There might be a few more minor things that I am missing, but these were the ones that stuck out the most in my mind. Hope this helps.
Can you tell us what other changes we might expect with the 2002 in addition to the ones above?
Also, how do they plan to allow for the power moonroof and the A/V entertainment system at the same time? What does that look like? And can you switch the sound so that the TV sound comes out of the stereo speakers, rather than just the headphones?
