Satellite images show lots of built Mavericks parked at Mexico plant

This is what I consider a true border crisis.....these Mavericks are being detained and we need some shipping companies to catch and release them to the US!

Catch and release!

Doubt. Go to Google Earth. Enter the coordinates.

Imagery Date = 4/2/21. Before Maverick orders were even a thing. Likely these are the F-150s waiting on the chips.

4/21/21 - newer. Also, I doubt Ford is shipping F-150s down to Mexico to store them.

This is definitely not good…. Way more Mavericks than Bronco Sports parked in the overflow lots. Even more parked in 2 off site lots.

This only happens if there is a post production rework backlog. Given the factory has been producing in volume it can’t be anything major, most likely waiting for installation of some part(s).

Pure speculation on what it could be, but interesting to note nearly all the units on the off site lots have nothing in the beds, whereas nearly all in the on site overflow lot do. The ramp area (ready to ship, along side Bronco sports) seems to have a mix of both. Hmmmm…

Google satellite images view shows a lot of mavericks sitting lined up at the Hermosillo plant. You can zoom in and see they are all trucks. They have them stored all around the plant. I am not sure when these images were taken so it could be worse or better in terms of how many are parked.

Not in real time always days or months before ! I can d a view of my house and it shows a year ago

Hey, does anyone have a friend in the CIA, NSA, or other 3-letter agency that can "task" a spy satellite to get us some real time imaging? Well worth the satellite's fuel consumption - it is a matter of national importance! (at least to me).

ETA: Mine should be easy to zoom in on - it's the one that looks like a school bus.

You can't go by copyright dates on Google imagery. Google overlays several images and averages out the images. This causes weird artifacts. My house, for example. Last year, my wife's car got totalled in January, and in February we had a horrific winter storm that split a tree in my yard. Her replacement came after the storm. But, Google imagery shows her new car parked outside the garage and the tree in one piece, and the copyright was from the year before.

Probably from the Fall Hybrid hold.

Probably from the Fall Hybrid hold.

Exactly, they were all backed up until late November until they got the OKTB. Even then, not a sure thing they were ready to ship out on that date.

In Google Earth Pro you can see the month/year for this shot and it's 11/21 :

And here is April 2021:

Can you zoom in, I can't see the chips.

You got the moonroof, eh?

That image sure shoots down the haters complaining about the Mav being made in Mexico. That looks like a top of the line factory.
