Noob question 17 a for today
Chassis build date is June 2017
Thor build August 2017
But it is sold as a 2018?!
When I talked to the Ford plant, they indicated model year 2018 typically doesn't start on the commercial vehicles till April March 2018 off the line in order to utilise previous parts inventory in builds especially if model hasn't changed
So why RV calling these 2018?
It sure makes insurance /bank etc shopping difficult
Is it a 17? 18?!

The F-53 chassis is built in Detroit by Detroit Chassis. Generally Detroit Chassis model change over is July. The Ford Truck plant in Louisville changeover is late July to early September. All Thor plants are independently managed and model change over varies. The only one I am reasonably sure of is plant 750 which changes over after the Easter Vacation (figure early May). The reason it varies is the number of dealer orders and the supply line for that line. I.E. the ACE coaches are little changed for 2019 but there is a major electrical change of the Windsport and Hurricane (Firefly).
