I didn't even know they were out yet, but saw this on PUT.com. Relative handful of trucks involved.
RECALL
The law says the model year has to include the same calendar year as the model and it cannot overlap two January 1sts.
So technically the 2015 model year truck can be sold from Jan 2nd 2014 to December 31st 2013. That includes the requisite January 1st of 2015 for that model year.
I used to fight with Marketing all the time as they would want to (say) sell the 2015s before Christmas 2013. Seeing as I controlled the printing of all the labels and the etching of the VIN plate they were in a no win situation. I simply used to ask them to get me a waiver from the Feds so we could do it early. End of discussion!
