Can Ford Actually Build All These MY22 Mavericks?

[Clock Doc]

More likely 9/19 where a lot of us are currently. I went 8/29 to 9/5 to 9/19 currently. Just an ECOboost with 4k tow..

Same exact dates and veh. as me. Except mines a better color! (just kidding)
Aug 19 to Aug.29. to Sept. 5th. email 8/31 pushed it back to Sept. 19th.
Velocity Blue EcoBoost bare bones XL + tow package only, nothing else on it.

As far as I know, there's no law saying they can't build model year 22 vehicles in calendar year 2023.

By NHTSA definition model year can't encompass more than 24 months of production. If that includes the preproduction trucks built as early as January 2021 then end of December 2022 would be hard limit.

I have a Hybrid XLT ordered on 10/15/2021. I was given an August 15 build date, and have been pushed back three times so far to a 9/5 build date. I have been waiting all week for the email pushing me back to 9/12...haven't gotten it yet.

Good. Hope it happens for you this time!

Originally a Aug 2021 order for me. XLT, Lux CP360, Rear window, Spray in BL. Finally received a build email and status on the tracker. Now just more waiting for shipping. Mine was pushed back for production 5-6 times starting in June. Built on 30 Aug 22. All original options ordered showing on the window sticker. I refused to remove options I wanted and waited it out. I sure don't see them meeting even some of the orders that have received late production dates unless they continue building 2022's past the proposed end of MY build time frame. But, who knows maybe Ford will surprise us.

Maverick production ought to get really "interesting" between now and the end of the year. Based on everything I see on this forum, it seems typical for people to be bumped back 4-5 week from the original build date until their truck finally goes into production.

I just got scheduled this week for the week of 11/7, which is SUPPOSED to be the final week of MY22 Maverick production. However, considering that multiple push back are common, what are the odds Ford actually finishes MY22 Maverick production the week of 11/7? Let's just say I wouldn't bet big money on it.

And if they CAN'T get all the VINs they've assigned built by then, how long do they extend My22 production? I mean, at that point there will only be 7 weeks left in the calendar year. Ford can't build MY22 Mavericks in calendar year 2023!

Finally, what does all this mean for MY23 Mavericks? Will Ford again delay opening of order banks? Or will they. just delay the time before they actually start scheduling and building 23s?

I spoke to a person at a dealership on Monday the 2023 order banks probably will not open on Sept 15.

I don't think there is a 9/12 build week in play. My 9/5 hybrid got bumped to 9/19 yesterday. Hope yours goes through next week though. 2022 is the year of living dangerously.

Yeah I thought of that too. Kinda being stuck in the twilight zone between a 22 and a 23.

Yeah I thought of that too. Like being stuck in the twilight zone between a 22 and 23. I could see Ford being optimistic on this and fouling up those in this situation. Seems like many people got build dates. My build date is 9/26.

Tim Bartz has said many times, over and over again. "If you got a VIN, it will be built this year!"

I don't think they can build the Hybrid XLT Lux 360 that I ordered 8/13/21. They keep sending me e mails to that effect.

Yup, and I've heard him say it many times with my own ears. And I also said earlier in this thread I do believe I'm getting a 22 Maverick.

But I also won't be surprised if they need longer than the week of 11/7 to get them all built.

It is possible that none of those pre-production trucks were completed until March. Theoretically, Ford can keep producing the '22 model year until February 28.

Well hush my mouth!
On 9/01/22, Ford sent me the "We understand it has been too long since you last heard from us...." e mail... again.

A few hours later I was informed that my order was built on August 31. Another hour later, I was informed that my order had shipped.

I am amazed.

I honestly dont think they want to roll anything to a 23 to avoid handing out price protection rebates so I could see them pushing production out even further to get as many 22s as possible, who knows though. Im sure they will build as many as they can with the parts they have...which doesnt bode well for constrained rollover 23s as those constraints are magically going away and will likely be new constraints pop up.

I agree with what you say. Ford will likely keep building 2022s until all the orders are satisfied. I order a Lariet hybrid on the very last day and just got a VIN Tuesday.
