FORD MAVERICK DELAYS AND CHIP SHORTAGE

[Naranjita]

With the order books closed the allocations will be less and less of an issue. They are going to pushing things out by constraint/parts availability. Doesn't matter if a big dealer has a slot, if their remaining orders have constraints. Even a small dealer late order may get scheduled over them, if they have little or no constraint. It's going to get weirder.

22 June, 81 July

Based on the 21 hybrid orders you mentioned for February and 80 (total) for March that should clean up most of 103 June/July orders you have on the books.

Logic says August orders will be scheduled by the end of April, September by May 31st and leave the complex October and November hybrid orders susceptible to a priority 99 designation and a place at the front of MY2023.

Thanks for all of your information. What month are some of your oldest unfilled Ecoboost orders at?

August

Spray liner is part of the delay but now I think there must be something else in those packages causing delay.

You thinks it could shortage on chip?

My order is Oct 12 Eco Lux 4K Moonroof. I hope I get my order by close out. I think I’m right on the fence. Lets see which October orders fall.

One day after you and I have all the constraints (hybrid, lux, 360, SIBL). I dont think I’m getting mine this MY

Wait, you are in Dallas, right? Heated seats?

Yep. Dallas does get quite cold.

Not necessarily. If they have an EcoBoost opening in the next month and they have CP360 components on hand, you will get scheduled. They aren't going to hold CP360 components for April, May, June builds that have 360 in them. The units that are last to the scheduling line will be the ones that do without 360 or move to next MY.

It's better to be a CP360 EcoBoost of any date than a Hybrid of an early date, at this point. Especially if you have no other constraints.

well both my orders have the 360 Copilot in it because of my daughter being blind in one eye. My hybrid order is a XLT co-pilot 360 with the luxury package ordered the beginning of August. My EcoBoost order January 15 all-wheel drive 4K towing package and push button entry. The only reason I ordered my ego boost is I don't think I'm ever going to get the hybrid I guess I'll just wait and see what else can I do ?? I'm sure not going to take the luxury pack out of my hybrid considering it was ordered in the 9th or 10th week of ordering Again I just don't know!!

Ordering a Tacoma is worse if that’s consolation

I would have loved to order a Lightning but.....honestly I can't even keep my golf cart charged and I use it everyday soooooo.

I'm betting the chips are needed for the heated seats, mirrors, windshield wiper and steering wheel. As we live in Vermont, we have decided that's worth waiting for.


UPDATE: Nope. It's something more basic than that, because it's one chip needed by ALL trims. I guess we'd better wait for something that necessary, eh?

Update from the Maverick Brand Manager:

These (chip shortages) are all related to 1 specific chip related feature. These should leave the plant in a first in first out basis.

I feel ya! Mid August hybrid from LM. It’ll happen eventually, right?!
