Boy, would I love to be your business competitor! You're happy to place an order with no idea when you'll receive it and be happy about it? What a great attitude! Off the efficiency scale. Sounds like an outside consultant we didn't hire after this jewel he presented! --- "At base level, this just comes down to total strategic contingencies." --- Are you his new employer?
I have the same lux package as yours but Area 51 ordered 6/15/2021 and my production date was 2/7/2022 was built 3/28/2022 and got email 3/31/22 that it is being delivered between 4/12-18 Texas somewhere in all the emails from ford the dates changed as well.
Sounds like a really great concept!! I guess you can always control your thoughts so you do not worry about things you can't control. Hope that does not cause stress

It's called adapting to reality instead of being a whiny ass crybaby about it. All your getting mad and whining about Ford needs to do this, Ford needs to do that, blah blah blah has done exactly what to get you your truck faster?
Given this thread, I just called Ford Marketing at the 800-334-4375 number, and got answered very quickly. My June 17, 2021 ordered, bare-bones Maverick XL Hybrid with only the trailer hitch option, just got a VIN assigned! Entered it into my ford.com account and while there is no scheduled production date yet, it recognized my VIN and dealer, along with my info. From reading here, nothing happens until a VIN is assigned, so now looking forward to getting a production date. My dealer did not get a lot of Maverick allocations, so looking like the outstanding June orders are finally getting some love. Even gave me the $100 e-gift card, without asking, while on the call. Just let my dealer know, as they had not gotten the VIN assignment info, and thanked me for calling. Must have just been assigned in the last few days.
According to Ford Corp, they abandoned the allocation system at some undisclosed time for customer Maverick orders, but I've yet to contact a dealer who knows about this.
If one receives sub-standard service from a provider that did not supply even jelly and finds that acceptable, then have at it often! Some who allow that behavior to flourish and continue unabated, just didn't pass Business Ethics 101 and often need a bankruptcy attorney after allowing that systemic abuse to damage their operation. Enjoy helping suppliers who perform haphazardly remain in business! It's not like any poorly run American car manufacturers have ceased operation in the last 40 years by ignoring customer feedback. I guess I'll go to the next auto show and look for a new Mercury or a Pontiac!
Hello everyone. Called Ford today and got a Vin and a Build Week. Sure, hope it isn't an April Fool's joke!
