2023 Ford Maverick Ordering - Granger Ford

[Granger Ford]

Greetings to everyone,

There are some changes that are going to substantially change how the retail order allocation process works for the 2023 model year. We have yet to see how this all plays out until the 2023 model year allocation starts. With that being said, we are not going to be taking any retail orders to start the 2023 model year for 2 reasons.

1. We are obligated to fulfill the existing 2022 orders that will carryover to 2022.
2. I'm not confident we can offer the same (or similar) discount on 2023 models until I see how the allocation formula plays out.

Once we find out more information we'll be happy to pass it along, but I wouldn't anticipate an update until around the first of the year. That should give us enough time to fulfill existing orders as well as get our heads around the new allocations formula's full implications.

For those on the 2022 list getting rolled over, what's the plan/timing/process? Is there an opportunity to update desired options? Does that change our place?

Will you be offering any type of discount for ordering a 2023 Escape?

Wife likes driving my Maverick and she really likes the look of the new Escapes, I presume driving experiences are very similar. Would love to order from Granger and plan a road trip whenever it arrives!

Whoa! This is BIG news. I realize you do not have all the details yet from Ford, but generally speaking, it sounds like what you are saying is that Ford is making changes to the allocation system that will actually penalize dealers for offering incentives that attract a large volume of retail orders from out of the area.

Am I reading in between the lines correctly, or am I wrong?

And, @fordvideoguy, surely you are also getting wind of this if there are going to be significant changes to the MY23 allocation system. I am sure I am not alone when I say I would be VERY interested in hearing more about this in your weekly video on Tuesday evening, both in terms of how allocations will change for MY23 and also the "obligation" referred to by the OP relative to fulfilling MY22 orders pushed to MY23.

I was sort of reading it this way as well, I sure hope it isn't so. I can definitely appreciate Granger holding off taking new orders until all of their 2022 orders get converted and hopefully scheduled, but I also wouldn't have expected that to take until the 1st of next year Per a previous Granger post, they were expecting ~80 2022 orders to get rolled to 2023. Four months to convert and possibly allocate those 80 orders sounds like a steep drop from their most recent allocation of 110 for the month of August alone. Seems like @Ford Motor Company is moving the goal posts yet again.

Thanks for the update.

All of us 2022 orders that are left would appreciate a better explanation of how that affect us as we re-order(if that is the correct terminology)our 2022s as 2023s.

Mahalo!

Granger Ford, do you guys manually select all custom orders as priority 2? I’m curious if say you all have 300 Maverick orders if you all only have a select number at priority 2 based on earlier reservations and the rest are waiting their turn as the default priority 19? There has to be a simple reason that is being over looked which is causing such little to no allocations.

That will proceed as normal once 2023 ordering opens.

Yes, escape is 3% under invoice.

Again, I don't have all the implications yet. But we want to see how 2022 plays out. Honor those commitments and see where the chips fall.

Those will proceed as planned.

Only Ford can update to the 2 priority code.
