Conversation today with Ford and my dealer (not good)

[MrC]

I’ve been reading this forum for 4 months. My order for XL Hybrid was mid October. I have zero confidence in anything right now. I’m guessing 2022 orders will eat up at least 50% if 2023 production at this slow rate. The future builds do not look promising. Supply chain and transpiration issues will continue.

Have you thought about going with a low demand vehicle? Checy Colorado might be good. I see 299 in stock near me!

I'd walk everywhere rather than have a Chevoray in my garage.

What role does transpiration play?

I've lurked this forum for months to get some insight into when my truck might be built and delivered and found it comforting I'm not the only one that has wondered just wtf is going on at Ford. Anyway, I finally called Ford corporate today to see if they had any status on the Maverick XLT Hybrid I ordered last October from a local dealer and which Ford had long ago confirmed via email. The Ford rep told me that parts delays were a problem but are now mostly resolved and it's now transportation from rail yards to dealers that is the major bottleneck. The Ford rep assured me that the truck will be built and delivered within the next few months and they will fill all confirmed orders. They told me to contact my dealer and get a few pieces of info to better determine where I stand in their allocation.

So, I call my dealer and am informed that they just received notice from Ford this morning that no more XLTs or Hybrids will be built this year if they are not already scheduled for production. WTF!! I told my sales rep what Ford had just told me this morning, which is 100% the opposite of what the dealer had just told me and they had no explanation. I plan to call Ford again tomorrow to see what they say in response to what my dealer told me.

My dealer has been keeping me posted on the status regularly and I have no reason to believe they are lying since my sales rep told me she had to make about 10 bad calls to other customers today.

I was hesitant to buy a Ford to begin with, so if it turns out Ford has indeed screwed us, I will never consider them again. What a cluster.

don’t lose hope yet, pretty sure your dealer didn’t use accurate wording in his/her convo with you. if Ford confirmed they have your order, that has more precedent I believe than what your dealer said to you.

You know how it is when your transpiration is messed up. MrC shouldn't have to explain it to you.

You've seen our politicians. I'd just as soon swim naked in a pit of alligators with dead chickens attached to my body.

I think it would be more "interesting" if the chickens were not dead! ()?

There's always one perve in the bunch! LOL! I'll save the undead chickens for the voodoo rituals to be performed if things don't go my way at GYF.

Jenny, you know better than to swim naked.

You could get sun burned.

Hey, there's more than one perve here

So long as I don't have to worry about any of you driving a panel van full of puppies, kittens and candy scouring the neighborhood for children...

Had an uncle who worked down in Haiti for years. That voodoo shizz ain't no joke.

My dealer just called me and told me that if I don't drop co-pilot 360 and the Lariat lux that I won't be built and will have to push my order to a 2023. Ordered 10/23, Lariat eco boost. So either a coincidence or its true that this week may be screw the outstanding orders day.

Yeah, be sure to bring something to cast out the demons from Gary Yeomans Ford - Daytona Beach. And if you like to take up the serpent, you should no trouble finding one there. It'll be wearing a GYF polo shirt.
