Back in June, we reported the dates that 2021 Ford Super Duty order books were scheduled to open, as well as the dates it was scheduled to enter production at the Ford Kentucky Truck Plant and Ford Ohio Assembly Plant. However, Ford Authority has learned that the automaker has since made a few changes to its timeline.
| Activity: | Order Banks Open | Production Starts | Order Banks Open (Old Dates) | Production Start (Old Dates) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kentucky Truck Plant: | August 10, 2020 | October 26, 2020 | August 17, 2020 | November 2, 2020 |
| Ohio Assembly Plant: | August 10, 2020 | November 9, 2020 | August 17, 2020 | November 9, 2020 |
Originally, 2021 Ford Super Duty order banks were scheduled to open on August 17th, 2020, but are now open today, August 10th, 2020. Production was originally scheduled to start at the Kentucky Truck Plant on November 2nd, 2020, but will now also begin one week early, on October 26th, 2020. Despite these changes, production at the Ohio Assembly Plant hasn’t changed, and will begin on November 9th, 2020.
The Super Duty lineup consists of the F-250, F-350, F-450, F-550, and F-600. However, F-600 production is on a different schedule.
As we recently reported, the 2020 F-600 equipped with Ford’s 7.3L Godzilla V8 is scheduled to go into production on August 17th, 2020 at the Ford Ohio Assembly Plant after order banks for the F-600 opened back on March 2nd, 2020. Which, interestingly, will mean that the F-600 will still be a 2020 model year vehicle in early 2021.
Meanwhile, the F-600 equipped with Ford’s 6.7L Power Stroke V8 is scheduled to go into production in early 2021, as we reported last month. The F-600 is also equipped with FoMoCo’s 10-speed TorqShift automatic transmission with available live drive power takeoff.
There will be a few minor changes and updates to the 2021 Super Duty, which we will outline later.
We’ll have much more on the 2021 Super Duty very soon, so be sure and subscribe to Ford Authority for the latest Ford F-Series news, Ford Super Duty news, and continuous Ford news coverage.

On top of $500 million last year.
This updated proposal suggests ways to cut down on battery drain.
It isn't original or perfect, but it would make for a nice classic cruiser.

FYI, I tried to order a 2021 F450 cab and chassis yesterday (8/12/20), and Ford was having some computer issues. I was later informed by my dealer that Ford wasn't allowing full build orders until September 17th.
I was able to order a F-350 today, not sure about the F-450 C&C.
How did you order your 2021 F350. At the dealer or on line. I’m itching to order a 2021 F250 Tremor. Please let me know brother. Thanks.
Hey Don, I ordered my 350 Tremor last week through my dealer. Good luck!
All I see are 2020 still available when I try to build on on Ford's website
Still showing 2020 today Aug 17 https://shop.ford.com/build/superduty/?s_kwcid=AL!2519!3!253522629542!e!!g!!ford%20truck%20builder&searchid=1070113839%7C%7C%7C&ef_id=CjwKCAjw1ej5BRBhEiwAfHyh1FHh3PTIgDW7JzS48mT3ngul122lYOYiHObon4sVzJXZ-7RGFrM6vBoCCjIQAvD_BwE%3AG%3As&intcmp=show-bp#/select/
Just called my dealer and salesman said they aren’t able to order 2021 Superduty yet. I think that Ryan Quinn must have ordered a 2020. Keep sending reply’s my Brother. I’m wanting to place an order as soon as possible also.
My dealer contacted me to come in and order a new 2021 F250. the salesman sent me 36 pages of the ordering literature so i can know what to order. It said it comes with last years 8" screen with sync3. No hybrid option was available. I saw on other websites that said new superduty will have a 15.5" info screen with sync4 and a hybrid option. I also saw spy shots on Best2019pickuptrucks site the pic of a huge info screen through the window of the truck in the pic. i asked the salesman to contact the Ford rep to find out about whats up with the options. why would i want to get a new calendar year truck and it get more upgrades in a couple of months. BUYERS BEWARE!!!!!
Those updates have been pushed out to 2022
After going through those 36 pages it clearly states whats new for 2021. it says sync3 with 8' screen will remain the same. New F150 options WILL NOT COME TO NEW SUPER DUTY THIS CALENDAR YEAR. I'm disappointed. But you can now go to the dealer and order new Superduty.
Are there any 2021 upgrades worth waiting for, or would it be better to take the rebate on a 2020 on a lot at this point?
Just ordered a 2021 Platinum F-250 Tremor Power Stroke Diesel with EVERY option except the safe and the wench. MSRP was a hefty $89,940 but was able to get it for $86,649. I’m excited to have gotten the 2021 model. There weren’t many upgrades except maybe a bit more from the Diesel but it’s a new calendar year truck. So go to your dealer and don’t get taken advantage of. There was tax and after that only 100$ in fees for tags and registration. I know 2 other dealers that are not as good and wanted to go 500-1000$ off MSRP plus had other charges. I traded a 2010 Dodge Charger and they gave me a great price of $5,200 for it plus saved the tax. So it dropped it to $81,450 plus tax and then the extra 100$ in fees. So I paid with trade in $88,573. I wanted all the new tech options the new F-150 has but it’s not out this year. So I’m going to get it around Thanksgiving. And it’s a 2021. Proud owner of a Super Duty Diesel. And a F-CKING TREMOR.
Iron Man !!!!
Should have held out, got 3 dealers bidding against each other for me to order. Down to $1000 below dealer invoice now.
Good for you Don S. Thanks for sharing what is an isn't available. I was really hoping for some of the F150 Hybrid tech to bleed over to the 250 but... Drive it like you stole it!
