Hang tight or Jump Ship???

[RAMS]

Looking at my options. Committed to the Ford Maverick Lariat on 9/4. A 3-4 month promise has become a long road, 8 months and counting. Now I need to check my options. I have to have a vehicle by June when my kids are out of school. Been discussing a short term lease if things are still in limbo, with dealership. Now wondering if I hang in there or jump ship?. My other vehicle has been gone since Jan. and relying on one vehicle in the family is not fun. I have a ton of accessories already, and was wondering if I sell them or hold tight?
Maverick owners what’s the verdict…

That’s not really a lot of money… but that should not be the determining factor. How are you going to like taking the bus, now that is the question. I ordered September 18 AWD Lux and co pilot and I’m hoping for a late July build. FordVideoGuy says 10,000 builds for June and less than 2,000 for July. Clearly unless you have your build date already the very earliest you will get your Truck will be late July or August. I’m thinking of a Ridgeline if I’m not at least given a future build date by June. Good luck.

Depends how bad you want a Maverick. Some guys are willing to pay $10-15K above MSRP. Some are willing to give up pkgs. and add on features to get one. Some will wait 1-2 years to get their order. Some decided they are tired of Ford fuc&@:; them around and go for other options out there. Ultimately it is your decision. You can always get something else and in a couple years get a Maverick. Hopefully by then without any issues.

I'm thinking of jumping too--several reasons. I'd go to a Ridgeline, but the gas mileage would hurt worse than what I have with the distance I have to drive for work. Right now, I'm looking at a Rav4 hybrid and a Forester or Outback. NOT what I was wanting, but beginning to think this vehicle just isn't the right timing for me.

Keep faith, patience is the name of the game on retail orders.

Hang tight or hold tight. Don't sell anything, and wait.

If you have ordered one already, HOLD. You’ve Locked in price protection if the msrp has or does increase since your order. You’ll never have an opportunity for another maverick at that price.

btw… there is no competition for the maverick. Nothing else compares really. You will be so happy waiting it out, as hard as that is.

If you can hold out, the re-sell price is insane (atleast here in Florida) I pre-ordered and 26k out-the-door and have been fielding calls to buy it back from me for 35-38....

JUMP and we all move up one place in the line.

In all honesty, I truly feel your stress and I’m not sure where to put the blame. It’s a collision of several factors that has placed us all in a feverish quest for a, soon to be, ubiquitous vehicle that, in less then 3 years, will be every pool company’s and lawn service’s vehicle. Maybe a little reality check is sobering.

Here's a question no one has asked, have you reached out to the Ford hotline or chat to ask what the current status of your order is? It could getting ready to be built and a short time lease is the smart play, it could also for some reason rollover to the next model year and you should jump ship.

Last Friday I got out of my '94 S10 and found myself standing in a puddle of oil, warm oil, that was pouring out of my engine. I figured my old truck was done, so loaded up the wife and kid and drove to the nearest big city to see what those dealers had. "Nothing" is the answer to that question. The dealer whose website said he had 5 new Santa Cruz (es) on his lot, had one, used, for $37,000. They had nothing new, and the used side of the lot was just stupidly priced. Doesn't really matter what I want to do, there is nothing out there. Roger the Wonder Mechanic stopped the hemorrhaging in the old truck, for now, and well, I made an appointment with the ferrier. If the chevy dies over the summer, it's gonna be me and my horse, thought she should have a new pair of shoes.

Unless you have a bunch of constraints, your order, hybrid or EB, should get built in MY22. I would look at the possibility of a short-term lease. Of course, as soon as you do that you will get a build date. Hang in there.

I vote to wait, it IS worth it, there is no other vehicle(truck) out there that compares, especially in this price range.

worth the wait bud!
