Although, it is not written in Stone any where
BEFORE
Covid
all of the Auto Manufacturers had a Target Date, that date was to have functioning Prototypes to be on display for the
Texas State Fair.
They did not take orders at the Fair, but if you went to the dealerships, you could place your brand new Rams, Jeep, etc. order
The new eye catcher was on display, like Ram Boxes, Soft Lowering Tailgates, Split Tailgates.
I don't know if Fleet Orders are taken before or after Personal Orders & Dealership orders.
Fleet Orders are more often than not low cost vehicles, but they are placed in multiples of 10 or more.
I like to look at a Fleet Ordering site, to guestimate things like Production Dates
