⛔️ Official bulletin: 2023 Maverick order banks closing on 9/20 (Hybrid) and 9/21 (EcoBoost)

Yeah. Keep in mind, this is correspondence to dealers. Certain dealers have accepted retail orders well in excess of their typical allocations on some of the hottest models (you may have seen them mentioned on here offering the best deals). Basically, Ford is saying that dealers shouldn't exceed their allocations, as they should expect any customers whose 2023 order is not fulfilled/rolled over to 2024 will not be offered a "transition offer" (the $1750 EB/$2750 hybrid incentive for those who had to reorder for 2023). So the customers will be upset and it's the dealer's problem, not Ford's. That's what they're saying.

Yeah, I think it is also to stem the tide of questions by basically saying "don't ask about 2024."

Can't believe that they didn't place my order just to get rid of me yesterday when the sales manager and I had the heated and loud discussion in the middle of their showroom with customers looking on.

Details?

From what I have read, if you were not asked to provide a driver's license, then they can't complete the ROVP. IF you provided a driver's license and signed a copy of your order, then your dealer has everything they need to complete the ROVP since a deposit was not required. So, it is up to your dealer to properly follow-up on that.

I also do not believe you will get an email the ROVP is complete. That only goes to the dealer and they will reach out if they need something else.

If I had to hazard a guess, the COVP involves the deposit, which is why it is optional.

now this sounds intelligent and plausible!

My dealer just mentioned that not only is Ford limiting allocations - but they are also limiting specific options per dealership. For example: Dealer A has 5 XLT Hybirds with Lux, only one of those would be built.

Making it up as I go along.

my dealer means someone, probably as uninformed as everyone else, heard something by way of the telephone game, put their spin on it, and are reporting it as if they are the foremost authority on such matters.

"Placed" my order for Hot Pepper XLT Hybrid this afternoon. Of course I haven't gotten an email but I'm worried the order may not be taken if it wasn't put in immediately while I was there. The GM was sitting at his computer working through the options as we talked so I assume he was keying it in on the site but I'm not sure. May try the Ford hotline and see if anyone can tell me anything. I did get a printout of my order with Sales and Order codes so IDK.

If I've learned anything it's that the internet is more reliable than a lot of people you talk to a the dealership. just by reading this forum I'm usually days or weeks ahead of them on information.

Glad I got my order in on Friday

Lariat Hybrid
Alto Blue
Co-Pilot 360

Kept it simple so hopefully it won't take as long.

Have made changes to my original order. Still a Lariat Hybrid, changed color to Atlas Blue and added the Lariat LUX package.

If you don’t get an email confirmation from Ford, assume it didn’t happen. What the dealer gives you without a Fire email means diddly squat.

They're already talking about 2024s???

Ya I saw that too. Makes me wonder if Ford will be able to complete the orders they have now (22-23) before the M24 starts next April. Looks like they are looking for ways to not build an ordered truck. We'll see. When will we know if our order will go through.

Ask them for the WBDO build sheet. If they placed the order, then they should at least have that.

It’s amazing people outside these forums can get anything.

Maybe they're not? I figure people who are in-the-know at the MTC probably have a higher chance of even getting their Mavericks because of all the things we are doing to make sure our orders actually are submitted into Ford's system.

 

[glider]

How can we verify our order has been ROVP'd outside of asking the dealer and taking their word when they say yes? We've heard too many stories about mess ups with OVPs last year.

Is an email from Ford confirming your order enough?

Sounds to me like it doesn't matter if I got the confirmation. They still might not build your truck. What if my dealer doesn't get that many allocations etc. etc.?
