The SIBL is most likely holding up your order. Have you tried to change your build, drop the SIBL?

My order was confirmed the same day you ordered, and my truck has already gone out to the external Body Company for its SIBL. But now it's on chip hold. I think chip hold is a much bigger issue than SIBL. My understanding was that the LUX package SIBL takes precedence over an add-on SIBL. If you were promised the SIBL, you're still supposed to get it. If they can't give it to you in your LUX package, they will simply substitute the DIBL. Hang in there. Your Window Sticker will say which you are getting.

Well, hey, at least the order dates being scheduled are creeping closer to my September 17th. I will stay positive.

Ordered mine the same day. Hopefully we get our emails next week.

We did it boys!

• Time email was received: 0907 PST
• Your scheduled build week: April 18th 2022
• 🛻 All relevant build info: Area 51-XL-4K TOW
• Original order date: 13 OCT 2021
• Dealer: AWESOME FORD, Chehalis, WA

I’m glad to see that trucks are getting a build date that are ordered from Awesome Ford. I ordered from there in July and no build date yet, but it’s to be expected, I guess. Hybrid xlt, Lux pkg, copilot360. What’s the expression? The trifecta that never gets a build date!

 

[XLTLUXRED]

So how long between scheduled to actualy getting the truck

So far, for me, 3 months of "In Production", still no "Built" email and not shipped. Was supposed to be delivered Feb 7-13, but got delayed to May 8-14 due to chip hold. Expecting our truck the following week, we sold our second car just before the chip hold happened. So I guess my answer to your question is:

 

[M-C Maverick]

Yes! Another AZ Maverick!

I saw my first Maverick in the wild on the 101 in Scottsdale just this last week. Then a little later that day I saw my fifth Santa Cruz in the wild. Dunno if the Maverick just isn’t as popular here in AZ…

 

[XLTLUXRED]

I'm pretty sure everytime you change your order it automatically resets the "Ordered" date
When was the last time you changed your order
"Area 51 Alto Blue XLT - Hybrid/Lux/CP360" ?

You can change the colour or add or drop something and not lose your order date. It's only if you switch your drive train that your date gets reset to the latest date that drivetrain was allowed.

You know how much I love you all. Well, most of you. But if I were Ford god (little g), I would give my buddy @Delzona the very next Maverick to roll off the assembly line and send him a Built email.

I keep hoping it's his week every Thursday.

I've been rootin' for him too. He's been very level headed, kind to others, and always ready to appreciate humour when it comes around. Definitely one of the good guys and certainly deserves a Maverick getting built. Maybe we need to come up with the Maverick version of a rain dance?

 

[Espeer]

Uhhh, if you ordered Oxford white, then we have an all out contest!

Nah, carbon Grey.

Personally, I just think AZ isn't getting as many allocations as other states, but that just my opinion, I have no facts or stats to back it up. It's just a conspiracy I'm starting here!

It does really screw with the mind at how this happens!

I've read this type of stuff a few other times and it's been mostly confined to folks who say they ordered from a small dealership. I didn't really pay mention mind to it because I figured that dealerships/salesperson aren't always very reliable in the information they give because a) they don't really know, b) they do know, but don't want to upset a potential customer, c) they know something and hope that customer will back out of the order so the dealership can keep the order for markup, (pick an answer that suits your needs) for myself I just figured that the dealership/salesperson was just giving the extreme case scenario. I say that because Ford has closed the ordering on both models. They have publicly committed to not producing any "stock" orders (at least for the hybrid models) until all retail orders have been built and thus far I haven't heard of any stock hybrids being sold at dealerships.
Now with all that in mind, will Ford roll some orders into MY23? I think that is a very likely scenario, given that their current method of allocating Mavericks to dealership is the model of the term "SNAFU"! Ford hasn't taken any steps (none that I'm aware of) to address how build dates are doled out to the various dealership. Perception, is that larger dealerships are getting more allocations than smaller dealerships. Being that there's over 4k (?) members on MTC I think we have a good idea of what's happening out there as far where allocations are going. Yes, Jim Farley has stated “All we can do at this point is scale as fast as we can and break the constraints and communicate to (buyers) what’s realistic.”
When that "Communicate to (buyers) what's realistic" will happen is anybody's guess. Perhaps this communications has already begun to these smaller rural dealerships and that where the "your order is going to be rolled in MY23" has started. Ford knows there's a lot of people that are extremely unhappy with how the allocation system has been dishing out build dates. As one MTC member stated that since the ordering is closed along with Ford stating that everyone's Maverick that was ordered will get built, then why continue with the dealership allocations, why not start building by oldest order date and work forward? Ford has a huge media relations department @Ford Motor Company and they monitor the various Maverick forums, so one would hope they would pass up the chain that folks want and deserve answers! But when you're dealing with a massive company like Ford, the complaining that is being done here and on other forums doesn't appear to be reaching the top level management. I liken to trying to poke Godzilla with pen knife in order to stop him from stomping on your house! So for those who have left Ford in discuss because they haven't received their Maverick yet, Ford hasn't even acknowledged your leaving. Because even with as crappy as the system is for many of us the Maverick is exactly what we want and couple that with no real competition they have the market corned for now. I'm very certain that if any of the other car manufactures had something similar to offer there would probably be me and 20 others on this forum at this point. I've only owned two brands of vehicles, Ford and Jeep. This whole process has really tested my patience with Ford's customer service, and I say customer service because we have been kept in the dark as to why there was nothing said about allocation system when we first ordered, nor explained how the system works now that we know about it. I've made a complaint to the Ford's media group and I was passed on to Fords New Vehicle Market Team and was told they would contact me to gather more information concerning my order. That was 3 weeks ago and I've still not heard from them, I guess they also follow upper management lead of not commenting on anything. I've been in contact with my salesman every week since the OKTB was given to the hybrid and each week my build gets passed over. I finally dropped the SIBL for the DIBL and still I get passed over, yet have to sit watch week after week folks who order months after me getting build dates most WITH the SIBL! Sadly, I'm just a July 5th order, there are still so many out there from June who are still waiting and with each passing week they get closer and closer to the 1 year mark by the time they would actually receive their Maverick. Sure there are still about 5-6 months of build time for Ford to get everyone's Maverick built, this of course doesn't factor in supply issues during that time. So to get back to your original point (sorry for straying) yes it is a big F'ing deal if June and July orders are going to be rolled into MY23. I would say we'd be ok and that those that ordered in Dec/Jan should be more worried about that since they are the last in, but Godzilla (allocation system) just stomps wherever he wants with no rhyme or reason.
The thing that keeps me going forward is that Maverick is the truck I want so I'll wait. Next is all the wonderful and hilarious memes that show up in the Meme thread that just keep me laughing! I really have to thank @Gabbydad for starting the thread, which I'm sure has gone on longer than he expected! To @STARCOMMTREY1 for getting more Mavericks than a human should , @Leand60 and @mamboman777 for making me truly LOL a number of times.
So, if you can stay the course and wait for your Maverick it will a worth it, if and when it arrives. If you can't, I certainly don't fault for looking elsewhere for a vehicle, lord knows that Ford could do so much to mend the ill feelings so many of us have. So for now I will get down from my High Horse, step off my Soapbox, and go watch a few episodes of Yellowstone to see how business is really done!!

I want to thank you for your service. I am also a veteran of Desert Storm with 35 years in the Air Force and Air Guard. I am very glad you said the things you did. I thank you for telling the truth it was quite refreshing.

It does really screw with the mind at how this happens!

Been watching a lot of these videos sitting here with my great grandson a couple of days a week. I thought this might get you and a few others through another week.

It is pretty sad Ford has reduced us to this crap!

 

[Kpettrey]

When did you place your order?

June 26, 2021. Was told I would have it in the fall….
