Fair Warning, some 22 Maverick's might be canceled.

[Saul T Knutz]

It wouldn't surprise me that we hear of a small number of MY22 VINs that get reassigned MY23 VINs due to very last minute shortages that cause the orders to get rescheduled beyond the date when Ford really wants to start MY23 production. Production planning of any sort is always subject to surprises.

I wouldn't mind this move by Ford either, might give a slight bump in resale value down the line even though there's really no difference in a 22 built on Nov.13th and a 23 built on Nov.14th

Except you lose your locked in financing rates. I'm looking forward to taking that 0% for 36 months on my 2022.

Just another example of MTC speculation based upon hearsay stoking the fires of Maverick mania. The spread of misinformation around here is comical.

The spread of useful information on MTC is not comical, but very useful. I think OP posted this to just give a heads up to the possibility if could happen with Mavericks. I have questioned the statement that if you have a VIN, you are guaranteed a MY22 build for the last couple of months; I have not received a concrete answer to this question. I consider the statement that a VIN guarantees a MY22 build as also speculation.

Something else to keep in mind is the Maverick has balanced out. So, in theory, this should not be an issue.

But watching how Ford handles other models can be illustrative of how they handle the Maverick. Especially when those other models are the basis in which the Maverick is built.

Yeah, this is why I'm not worried.

Ford literally ALREADY moved a bunch of 2022s to 2023s. It seems more to me they're just doing the same thing for other models.

I would like to think that this frees up resources for building Mavericks.

There is no official word, yet, that Ford will be canceling some of the remaining 22 Maverick orders, but I thought that I would share that this week ford announced that they would be canceling some of the Escape and Transit Connect.

10/12/22

And today, 10/14, they announced the same for Escape.

Are there going to be more cancellations? I don't know. All I know is that this sucks.

Remember that this is on models with open ordering still unlike the Maverick with closed order banks for 23. For that reason, I don't think Ford would do this and leave those order holders high and dry.

I had broached the subject of putting in an order for a 2023 with my salesman, just to be sure to get one at all. I opted not to do it. When I got my VIN, I've been assured that my 2022 VB XLT Hybrid will be built, so I was glad I put the idea to rest while I waited for the window sticker and build date. Now this bit of news regarding other models comes along.

Please chime in @fordvideoguy and tell us what you think about this and our options should we get dumped. Thanks in advance

I posted my opinion but was saving this for Tuesday night's livestream.

I think it is worth mentioning. Honestly, Ford is not going to hold up production on the 86,000 MY23 orders just because a few constrained parts for a handful of MY22 are missing. At best, Ford builds most of the truck and sets it aside until the constraints are handled. This thread simply warns the alternative is they just cancel those last few so they can start getting the MY23 rolling.

The constrained items to build 22s are also constrained items to build 23s. It’s not like they’re doing a total redesign.

Very true. Anyone ever hear of Force Majeure in business?

Along those lines @fordvideoguy I wonder if you might reach out to the Maverick brand manager and check on this.

While I agree it seems unlikely, these are strange times. Those of us who have been issued VINs and waiting for our trucks to be built are understandably concerned about the possibility of having the rug pulled out from under us -- particularly given the weekly pushbacks and an approaching model year change deadline.

The airbag recall really screwed us all.

I hope they change that deadline me and someone else got pushed to 12/12 and another person posted 12/19

 

[WishingNHoping]

as of yesterday, ford cs told me, that you have a vin, it will be built.

 

[Tirpitz]

Just checked and my XLT hybrid is now week of November 28th. I was last at November 7th. Went from maybe getting it by Thanksgiving to maybe getting it by Christmas.
