i feel exactly the same. i have a 2003 fx 4 f-150 lariat. it's caused me at least 1000 bucks repair work in the last 3 months. brightside? several....i have not made a car payment in many years. at least the sale value will be a bit higher if it actually runs! i've been saving a few grand for down payment for quite awhile. together with truck sale it will be 5 to 7 k towards lower monthly payment. i look at it as an acceptable delay to get exactly what i want. i'm 58, i'm used to being delayed for what i want. it's all good!

0% means there's none available at all.

On the one hand we have people expressing disappointment about delays and on the other side we have people sticking up for Ford. Yes, we should give grace to companies as they struggle with availability of supplies. It has been crazy all across the board! But I think we should also be able to admit that there is room for improvement on Ford's part when it comes to the vehicle launch and ordering process. If it were not for message boards we'd all be in the dark. As much as I hate the phrase "perception is reality," it seems to fit here. While not their intention, it seems that many will be excited to finally get their Maverick, but will have a less than positive view of Ford. No, that's not at all their intention, but with the current system, that's the reality.
i wasnt told what my code number was however i asked to have the spray in liner dropped as that is the only constraint/commodity option but when the sales manager when into the order he said it was locked in as the code was changed to a different priority. which is very similar to what youre saying there. so basically we gotta wait until they have some available for our orders. and who knows when that is. could be a week, a month, 6 months. who knows.
agreed and not just a constraint but 0% available for any orders as a standalone option. 0.
So shall I, a First Ed customer, presume that within the 17% build of Lariat packages, I may find some hope for receiving my FE in a somewhat timely manner?Here's this week's current commodities / constraints for the 2022 Maverick, as of August 30.

Maybe but I'd accept my Maverick sooner without the spray in and have it done when supply is available. Besides any scratches would be covered by the spray in liner since they scuff the paint anyway before applying.
No, FE is still LATE AVAILIBILITY. We are very EARLY in production.
As I recall, spray-in bedliner is a time/manpower intensive process. It's quite possible that it's not the spray that is constraining, but either the manpower necessary to do it or the lot storage necessary to hold Mavericks while they're being sanded down/drying off or whatever. They probably want these Mavericks coming off the assembly line and straight onto the transport trucks.
Oh dam.... no need for specifics... but LATE = ?? November, December - BFE January and beyond?
It's a constraint because there is no current SUPPLY. I find it hard to believe that people find CONSTRAINTS hard to believe. You obviously didn't bother to read this entire thread, or you'd have easily found out exactly why the spray-in bedliner is constrained at this time. It's all spelled out in this thread for those who want to know WHY.
