Just confirmation of my 2023 Lariat FX4 lux package Maverick. Schedule for week of Nov 28th 2022. It is a Canadian order. My order was placed the morning of the banks being opened and I was number 1 at the dealership

I'm not that important...lol

I work at one of my local Ford dealers in my area in the parts department, been working in a Ford dealer for 26 years in various positions.

Ah-ha! So you know the secret handshake and the correct number of eye blinks to get your order moved up! Hopefully, you won't have to wait too much longer!

Nope, I actually only know like 3 of the 25-30 sales people we have at the dealer I work at, but I became buddies with a salesman at my sister store that use to sell accessories, he used to be a salesman where I currently work, so I went with him.

I hope to get mine after six months actually, then I can save for a bigger down payment!

My order is for an XL Hybrid. Seems like Ford is building the XLT Lariat trims first, and then on down the food chain. Maybe they will get to me, maybe they won't.

A dealer allocation scheme based on prior month's sales of constrained vehicles is ridiculous. Ford can't deliver what the dealers (or their customers) order, so Ford penalizes that dealer with fewer allocations for the next month? Meanwhile, the dealer that wins the "constraint" lottery "sells" more vehicles, so they get more to sell next month?

Ford, wake up and smell the coffee! That scheme will cost you 1/2 your dealerships within a year.

Maybe that's ford's plan

I also got the 45 days email today at about 5pm. I guess some communication is better than none.

I just got a "sorry this is going to take so long" email.

eta: ah, I see others did as well.

Thanks for answering. That does appear to be bizarre if I understand you correctly.

Bizarre in the sense that every potential buyer of the maverick would ask dealers in their surrounding areas "how many mavericks are going to be presented to Ford from your customers on opening day for orders?" The result would be: never purchase a maverick from any dealer having more then i.e. 15 cars. Go the dealership have the least orders being placed.

Or just go with another Make/Model that doesn't screw over people who have waited.... and waited... and waited... And probably never looking at another Ford again.

And at the same time, turning away potential retail buyers. I am a rollover 22 -> 23 hybrid xlt order and didn't get a build date while others with the same specs NEW orders are getting build date.

I have to say I am a little annoyed and probably will just let my order plays out but I don't think i will ever order another Ford again. If another car maker gets something together to compete against the Maverick in spec/performance/price, I will jump ship.

I'm June 21 order.The dealer I ordered from went out of business in August 22. Past my order over to another dealer.

Received Scheduled for Production email from Ford October 28, 2022 indicating a build week of December 12, 2022. Order was placed on September 20, 2022.

There is a hybrid Santa Cruz somewhere? When did that happen? And around 25k?

Ouch. I feel for you and I think you should get your truck before I get mine. Unfortunately Ford doesn't care for that as people who got their NEW orders in for 23 with the same specs as your order got a build date while you are still lingering in the queue somewhere.
