⏱ No Maverick Scheduling Next Week (3/7)

[paneubert]

I just found out that my 2022 Maverick lariat fully loaded with every gizmo. You can get on. It was supposed to be starting its build in April, now I found out that it won't get built until December, probably January of 2023.

What do you mean? Who told you this, and how would they know the production plans for December or January in a future model year cycle? Did you have a production date in April and now are being told it is "delayed" until December/January? If so, that isn't a thing......nobody would be able to say that to you with any certainty.

This is why I won't sell my Ram until the Maverick is in my greedy little hands. It will probably be June at this point. Ordered 11/13/21.

Depends on what you ordered. If you ordered a hybrid on 11/13/21 it will likely be much later than June.

Came straight from the dealer's mouth

Came straight from the dealer's mouth, after she called for directly.

This came straight from the dealer's mouth in Encinitas, California. She had just gotten off the line with Ford headquarters and was passing the information on to me.

I hope I am wrong. Just sharing my gut feelings.

Your gut feeling should isn’t based on logic. Your missing 5 months of production.

*sobs*

I'm never going to see my truck.

It will come, this is the way

From your sig "DECLINED ORDER 3/1: Up for grabs at Mullinax Kissimmee whenever it comes in."

Why don't you call Ford and tell them you canceled your order? That way the dealer will not get the ADM on your order. And one more person will get their order made for them this year.

That isn’t how it works. If someone cancels their order the dealer gets it regardless. The dealer is the only one who can turn the truck away.

Yeah those of us not scheduled yet are already bumping up against July delivery and thats IF we get scheduled in 2 weeks and no post build chip or shipping delays.

Your Dealer is lying. Simple as that. I am not even going to entertain that the dealer was "confused" by whatever Ford actually told them. If there even was a call with Ford Corporate at all.

Ford headquarters has no way of knowing when your specific Maverick will be produced, unless it has been selected for production. It is the complex scheduling process they run weekly (unless it is a break week like this coming week), that determines which orders can be built based on the commodities they have available for that build week. Even then, even after Ford HAS told a customer which week theirs will be built, there are dozens and dozens of people on this forum that have seen their build week move up a week, move back a week, delay 2 weeks, advance 2 weeks, move either direction and then move back to the original, etc.. With that movement happening on scheduled production orders, you beleive Ford called your dealer and said..... "Hey dealer, give Zookeepr a call and let them know we are going to build theirs in December.....maybe January. Thanks for the help local dealer, we couldn't do it without you!".

Ford does not know what commodities they will have in December. Absolutely no way they know that here in early March. If Ford was able to know their commodities this far in advance, they would have already told all the pending production orders for the 2022 model year when theirs would be built, down to the week (or at least down to the month), 8 months in advance. They would be scheduling into December and January, for a model year that does't even exist yet. We would all know if our order was going to be rolled over to 2023, etc...

I will say it again. Your Dealer is lying. Simple as that. They are trying to get you to abandon your order so they can sell it at a markup when it most likely arrives sometime late this summer. Their reasoning when Ford asks why you did not buy it will be "Customer could not wait that long, went another direction".

Is there a chance you get rolled to 2023 model year? Yes. Of course. Ford HAS said this MIGHT happen to SOME people. Notice the "might happen". Ford does not know yet. They will not know until they schedule production for the last week of production in the model year, which will be 4 MONTHS from now.

There is a chance that any of us who do not have a production date yet will be rolled to 2023, but it is nowhere near a certainty, and there is no dealer on the planet who has gotten that level of detail from Ford corporate and been asked to make some calls to customers. Simply did not happen. If you were told otherwise, you were lied to.

Believe me or not. I honestly do not care. But I have to try to combat these ridiculous things being said when I see them.

It's funny how since last year everyone keeps saying the dealers are lying. First it was the hybrids had been delayed, it was true, then about the constraints, it was true, then they would stop taking orders, it was true and now about being pushed to 2023s. The dealerships know more then any of us... I believe what the op said is also true...

The dealers knowing more than us, and the dealers lying if they say they know when someone's order will be produced are not mutually exclusive. In this case, I am 100% certain the dealer who told a customer that theirs would be produced in December or January is lying (especially if the dealer claims this information came in a call from "Ford"). Just like all the dealers nationwide who told folks when they ordered that theirs would be delivered in 4 months. That was a VERY common statement from dealers, even up to orders placed in January, right before orders were cut off.

I guess my point being, Ford Corporate did not call a dealer and tell the dealer that a specific order will not be built in the 2022 model year (which would be the case if it is a December/January production). The most recent official Ford communication is that some orders might need to be pushed to 2023, depending on how commodities end up for the rest of this year, and how many people modify their orders to remove constrained items. Every person who drops CoPilot 360 is one more CoPilot 360 module that can go to a different order. Every dropping of something else currently constrained means another customer can get that item.

If you want to get specific, this is the word for word quote from the memo.

"The customer can continue to wait for their 2022 model year retail order to schedule within the
capacity constrained levels. If the order is unable to be scheduled in the 2022 model year the
customer would need to work with their Ford dealer to convert their retail order to a 2023 model
year order when the retail order bank re-opens this summer."

Maybe they will be running around sticking chips in the ones that need them. Chill out kids, Christmas will be here.
