Hybrid production has been completely stopped for 2022 Mavericks, per my dealer

[NJ Pinelands]

Called my dealer today. My salesman is off on Fridays so I got somebody in sales. She said no more unscheduled Mavericks will be made for Model Year 2022. Just for the heck of it, I decided to send an email to double check. Response back was that the sales department is looking into it, but said I may not hear back until Monday because of the blizzard.

Sigh. More red flags than a May Day parade.

If I had a nickel for every time a car dealership or salesperson told a lie, I would have enough money to purchase all of your Mavericks in cash. Well, in nickels.

Find a dealer with a high ADM and take all of those nickels to pay for the ADM and use the 0% for the MSRP and try to see how fast the ADM gets dropped.

Your dealer is not the authoritative source, and is almost certainly looking to "roll you over" into a guaranteed new order for a 2023, while being able to sell your 2022 to someone else when it arrives. With a 5-10K "ADM" of course.

What makes this even more shady is that the claim of "he expects to start taking orders for in mid March" makes no sense for multiple reasons.

1. The order bank for 2023 wont be open for months after March.
2. If you were being "rolled over" to 2023, it would be automatic. You don't have an order canceled and re-inputted.
3. I am coming back to add a third. So....3....if you were being rolled over to 2023, I gurantee you would have heard it from Ford, not your dealer.

The 2023 order bank is set to open August 16th no sooner no later, Don't be late That is if Ford doesn't change their mind again

The issue here does not sound like a dealer trying to switch someone to an EB to sell a hybrid at a markup. That happens, sure. But this issue and lots of them recently seem to be dealer error during the ordering process.. in which case, there probably is nothing you can do. The dealer is lying about production stopping, etc, just to save face and not admit their mistake.

If that's the case and you do stick around to order a 2023, do so from a dealer that knows that they are doing.

And if your order is confirmed by Ford, It's not a question of if it will be built but when it will built

Just received a call from my dealership right now. All current and NON-SCHEDULED hybrid orders will not be fulfilled for the 2022 model year. If you haven't been scheduled yet...you will not get a 2022 Hybrid.

I am absolutely livid right now. I ordered my Maverick on June 10th, passed over scheduling every week, contacted my dealership every week the past 2 weeks asking for an update, but they never responded back yesterday...and now just did this morning. He broke the news to me that my 2022 hybrid will not get made, and gave me the option to roll my order over to 2023s, which he expects to start taking orders for in mid March.

He told me he has to make a lot of unfortunate calls today. I'm sure many of you will get bad news soon too.

I was dumbstruck and couldn't even think and comprehend what he was saying, even though this exact situation has been in the back of my mind and posted about it before and what I feared for over a month now.

I was one of the first people in the entire country to order a 2022 Maverick...and now I won't even get one.

Edit- Update, have been on hold trying to call the main Ford line now for awhile. My only concern now is if my dealership completely canceled my order.

Edit 2- Ford customer service confirmed that my order was still good to go and that I'm still in the queue and they are still making hybrids this year. I was happy and relieved so I called my dealership back...they told me my order was still active...but will just get rolled over to 2023s hybrids since they won't be scheduling anymore 2022 hybrids.

...Currently on hold calling Ford customer service again...

Final edit- New customer rep told me the same thing, my order is still in the system as processing and not scheduled (mentioned how splash guards are on backorder) but said if the DEALER said I won't get a hybrid, it probably means they ran out of allocations and yes, my 2022 would turn into a 2023.

I'm never ordering from a small dealership ever again.

call your dealer and ask them to tell you what the (status-veiw-sheet) says under "secondary"-unscheduled-clean,means you are getting your maverick shortly but if it says unscheduled-balance out,you are not going to get it it will stay in processing and never get pulled my guess this is why they are calling you i have already been through this.

I guess this is true, but if you are #30 in line at your dealer and they have 8 allocations per year, then you are getting yours in the fourth model year!

I think you're confused the allocation #s are monthly not yearly

 

[Mymaverick2021]

Well Morty, the thing is this. Three hours to you is fifteen minutes to me. I'm 73 years old and don't have all those hours to sit holding the phone. That you called me "dude" tells me positively that you are much younger than I and so you have the time, a luxury I wish I still had!

Anyway, I called Ford today and low and behold I got through! A nice lady answered. She seemed nice over the phone but I can't tell if she was BS'n me or telling me the truth. She said my order was in and correctly submitted. It had been sent in June just as it should have but she could not tell me why I have not yet been scheduled for a build.

I explained that my dealer said I would probably end up in model year 2023 but she said Ford is committed to getting all those orders in "queue" built for 2022 and just to hang in there - it would be built because everything is in order. She attributes a series of bad luck features for my delay. For example that the Lariat I ordered had a three hinge cover, was a hybrid, etc. I told her the order was made through a small, rural dealership that probably had few allocations. She said that certainly could be a factor. Beyond that, she had nothing to provide except, "hang in there and you will be rewarded with a wonderful truck". Hard to tell who to believe these days.

Sounds like somebody needs to retire so they can spend their time on hold with Ford

 

[Mymaverick2021]

The whole point of the ROVP process is that it provides allocations for retail units. They are still an issue for scheduling.....but as far as we have heard, they should be able to schedule all (/most?) existing hybrid orders for the 22 MY.

It will happen

Ok, so you are #30 and the dealer allocation is one a month. Now you are into year three.

Ask them in person Dealerships hate pissed off customers on their showroom floor. Communication by e mail and phone allows them the easy way out...

 

[Scupking]

What Ford should have done from the start is just made the Maverick a hybrid with no ecoboost option. Then in a year or 2 offer an awd hybrid version.

 

[Bburg]

We'll is this is the case, and I hope it isn't I will be very upset since I foolishly pre traded my F150 2014 with 50K miles for a phantom Lariat FE Hybrid.

Plus they will still schedule all remaining orders eventually. Remember, MY22 orders are now closed and at some point Ford is going to be at a place where dealers with large allocations have received all their trucks.
