[Almost A Maverick]

It seems to me at this stage in the game you're better off moving into 2023 even with a price increase. Inflationary pressures are running about 8.9% and on a $30,000 order that's about $2700. If Ford will offer you a private cash offer to off set price increases and that keeps you under the inflation increases you come out ahead.

If Ford increases prices 4% and they offer a $1,000 rebate you come out dead even up to a $25,000 purchase. Over that you start to lose ground. Ford stock lost 18% of is value in June alone this year.

Ford is in a situation where material shortages and price increases have to be factored into their business model.

Essentially a $1,000 rebate would be almost meaningless in the scheme of things, at least to the purchaser.

I think that the delays will continue and Ford is making the private cash offer to hang into to prospective customers while they fight to produce each and every model.

Ford management has an obligation to follow the money, so it seems they would have to move the microprocessors to their most profitable lines and I don't believe that's the Maverick.

The only question remaining is how much will the private cash offer have to be? I don't see them going much over $1,000 and who is to say they won't offer that to all at some point?

In essence you're simply someone who waited, only to see the deck reshuffled so that you have the opportunity to wait again. Ford is running a business and that's difficult at this time.

It looks like to me luck plays more into this scenario than any coherent business plan.

Emailed my dealer today to have the tonneau removed. Emailed me back a new sales sheet with the cover removed, and a slightly higher cost for the xlt hybrid and for the lux package. The difference was only like $655, almost the cost of the cover. And they blasted me back to priority 10. Wasn't there a way to get around this? The higher charges and the priority code?

I went to my dealer yesterday to drop the bed liner and my cost had also increased $330. I asked why. He said "Ford increased the prices in March, supply issues increased prices. There's nothing we can do about it." I said, "but I have your invoice here with my price from January. Are you saying this is worthless?" He said, "there's no price guarantee, it's not built yet. That just shows you gave a deposit." It seems Ford increased a few packages and didn't tell anyone. Not surprised.

I rushed to put my order in on Dec 26th to beat the price increase on the 27th. I guess that was a waste. Now I will get the chance to order again. And start all over.

Wrote my salesperson about the status of my Ford Maverick Lariat with copilot, Lariat luxury package, spray in liner, in regards to Ford’s latest email on the MY23 ordering process. His response,
“I personally haven't heard anything from Ford, my problem is that my dealer gets emails regarding that and never tells anyone or tells my manager and he doesn't keep us updated. I will look into all that and see how far I can get to get you some answers. You currently have a 02 priority code which usually indicates its about to be scheduled to be built. I don't believe you will get rolled over to the 23 year models but I could be wrong! Haha do you have time for a call?”

Waiting on his call. But I have not removed any of the listed constraint items from my initial October 21 order. With all that is going on, I’d be surprised to receive that truck based on what folks have said here about priority two’s being passed over that have constrained items.

Made in Mexico without union overpriced labor should make it much cheaper to produce.

I don't know why folks seem to assume the plant in Mexico is some sort of slave labor situation.

First Google result.

"The plant is unionized under SINTRAFORD".

6/29 Got the email.
6/30 My salesman called and left a message saying that if I want to have a chance to get a 2022 to drop the 360, Full Size Spare, and Splash Guards..
7/7 Called my salesman to drop Full Size Spare and Splash Guards. I still would like the 360.

He said my build was scheduled for 8/1!
Complete surprise as I was was resigned to getting a 2023.

I "chatted" with Ford online earlier this week. Status still showing as a 10 according to them. Then I watched this video and got really paranoid that maybe the dealer didn't actually place my order.

I emailed my dealer the images from the OP in this thread plus a link to @fordvideoguy Episode 47 and told him what parts I was concerned about (gave him the minute marks). I asked for him to send me a copy of the COVP status or show me the screen shot of the Maverick Lead to Order Program. The dealer responded a few hours later with a copy of my APPROVED COVP!

So I can now step away from the ledge and have a seat while I wait to see what MY I end up with.

My wife keeps telling me that my order for MY22 was all in my head. Telling her I won't get MY22 and now have to wait for MY23 isn't going to convince her I'm not crazy.

You should contact Ford chat today (or reach out to Chapman, as several orders before and after yours in the Chapman Horsham orders thread reported getting scheduled just this week...

 

[Ken_Ohki]

Thanks for the heads up I’ll reach out tomorrow.

update 7/15:

Sure enough scheduled build date of 9/5.
