FORD MAVERICK DELAYS AND CHIP SHORTAGE

[track me]

Then what were you knocking with this comment. " All I could think of is price / profit. It's the way our society is driven. " We live in America under a Capitalist economy .

Exactly. That was in regards to this
"Try and buy a car in Europe. Don't be so quick to knock a capitalistic economy until you have experienced a socialist one."
NOT my comment as to why a Lariat ordered after an XLT might be completed first.
You brought up Europe.
Higher profit, higher priority comes right from the guy calling the shots.

Correct. People hear Texas and assume we don’t get cold at night/morning.

And yes, I understand I am using the term “cold” loosely. I am from Nebraska so that’s much colder. I know.

I'm in Vermont and I know it's all relative. We had a warm December here, followed by a month of minus temperatures. We began January really feeling the cold harshly. But by the end of a month of subzeros, when it warms to 10ºF we're walking around with coats unzipped, and I just know that later this week, when it hits 40ºF, I'm going to see someone in the store wearing shorts. Later on, Summer will feel too hot at first. But by August we'll be fine. It takes a little time to acclimate. So, when you always live where it's warmish, you never get that opportunity. You may need the heated seats as much as I do.

I was regretting to the person who said people that ordered in December were getting scheduled before orders in June.

Exactly what I've been saying for a month now, the lux package/ 360 copilot don't seem to be slowing down the ecoboost orders from being built/shipped and delivered.....but if you want your hybrid you better remove that stuff,....lol....something else going on with the hybrid that Ford is keeping quiet about, just like the total number of truck orders....big secret.....not saying the constraints and chip shortage aren't real....they are....but there's another problem and were all in the dark about it, including the Dealers.

Actually copilot 360 seems to be a constraint for ecoboost orders. My ecoboost, ordered in October, is completely base except for copilot and is not scheduled. Dealer told me last week that according to Ford "co-polit 360 is putting it on conflict restriction production". I have literally no other options selected.
Maybe the dealer is not being straight with me. Hard to trust anyone these days.

meanwhile, going on 7mos...

6 months tomorrow here ......

Yes the 360 copilot is a constraint, but there were a lot of ecoboost trucks that got scheduled last Thursday with the 360 and lux package.....you're probably a victim of the allocation system ....which is a disaster in itself.

When you post something like this, could you give us a link to the article?

Oftentimes there's more detail buried in the article that could be useful to know.

Thanks...

He was absolutely wrong. GM has quit offering a heated seat option due to lack of chips on anything but their high end models. They are still building other models you just cant get heated seats.

I live in Phoenix and my wife INSISTS on heated seats for those occasional morning when temps are in the 30's & 40's

The allocation system is only a disaster for the extreme minority of people who have ordered from very small dealers. It works for Ford because they're success depends on their larger markets, not the small ones. It is what it is, hating their successful allocation system is silly. It's not like Ford is a company that popped up ten years ago, they've been doing this long enough to know what works. People hating on the allocation system are just bitter that they're a victim of their small dealership. In a normal market, it's not an issue, even the small dealers will get their allocated units eventually, in a destitute market like we're in now, the small dealers suffer. Ford isn't about to change their successful system to appease the few disgruntled small market customers. Hate the circumstances of a global pandemic and the supply chain issues that have resulted. Don't hate Ford's successful allocation system.

So glad I gave in and ordered the basic XL gas My stripped down truck keeps moving up the schedule. Now due February 21 start

If it were successful people would get trucks

ha, people are definitely getting trucks. Roughly 100,000 orders and there have been less than 5,000 orders reported on this forum. This place isn't a great cross section of who is ACTUALLY ordering Mavericks. People almost never go to the internet to talk about the good things. Most people coming here are the very few who are waiting for the truck from a small allocation dealer and want to vent or complain. The system works. The factory pumps out almost 8,000 Mavericks each month, more than are even reported on this Forum. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to understand how that number conflicts with your statement which insinuates that people aren't getting trucks. You're just one of the few people, relatively speaking, who are currently at a disadvantage as a result of the allocation system. This has direct correlation to the supply chain shortage, like I said, in a normal world the small allocation dealers would get all of their special orders in addition to dealer stock.

Sorry you ordered from a small time dealer but maybe you'll get it eventually.

Back out enough things and you can move first in line to the chipless version!
