Order one 23 then a week later order another 23. Do the same when 24 ordering opens but look at demand and decide to wait maybe two or three weeks before the second 24 is ordered. When they come in trade the prior one in at Kelly blue trade in amount and repeat until the last one maybe a 25 is free!My "problem" is, get a '23 HEV or '24 PHEV.
I drove from Pensacola, FL to Los Angeles last week and saw only one Maverick at a rest stop in Texas. I have only seen four total and one of those probably the same one twice.This channel said on a trip to Utah they only saw one Mav the entire time.
Wow Chris that is even longer! Do some videos like the Utah ones on your next trip, I will subscribe!I drove from Pensacola, FL to Los Angeles last week and saw only one Maverick at a rest stop in Texas. I have only seen four total and one of those probably the same one twice.
At least in my area, Ford is running commercials for every vehicle they offer EXCEPT the Maverick. Which tells me they already know their '23 order books are going to fill quickly.If Ford starts to show commercials during college and pro football games, Chicago PD, Lone Star Law, hunting and fishing shows, I will go with somewhere between Christmas and January 20.
Keep in mind the VIN counts are for ALL countries. About 10% of Mavericks go to Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, and a few other South American countries. The US gets the other 90%. Not sold outside of North and South America.They've already issued 105k VINs for MY22, and they're still not done scheduling. The big wildcard is truly how much the supply chain recovers (or continues on the same path). Keep in mind, production volume this year was dramatically impacted not only by supply chain issues, but also in delays incurred dealing with typical first model year gremlins (bad wiring harness, gas tank damage from incorrect spray-in bedliner procedures, mods required to stave off engine fires, etc.).
This would tend to suggest that production numbers for MY23 should increase, but the other thing to keep in mind is that a typical model year production run would usually end closer to late September, but due to all the delays, MY22 Maverick production is running into November. This means, if they try to get back onto the old cycle next year, this extension of MY22 production will cut into MY23 volume. Even at 10k per month, if they produce From mid-Nov 2022 to even mid-Oct 2023, that's roughly 110k trucks.
The only saving grace of my order getting rolled over is that it will supposedly get built before that wave of pent-up demand crashes into Hermosillo. I'll believe it when I see it, though!![]()
