The Splash Guard Constraint Issue Cracks Me Up

[CZaugg]

Get a load of this. I ordered my 22MY Lariat Lux Hybrid with the 360, all weather floor mats and that NASTY constrained item . . . splash guards, Oct 9, 2021. I'm one of those thousands that were scheduled for December and now moved to January with the 22MY VIN. So you hear over and over about those constrained items that is holding up production. So I gave my dealer heads up that I will be dropping the splash guards and other constrained items for the new order that I hope to get in as soon as Ford opens up the order bank for 23MY (November sometime). So I went ahead and ordered from Ford Accessories the front and rear splash guards, thinking it could be 3-4 months before receiving them. I also ordered the all weather floor mats while I was at it. No mention lately about floor mats being a constrained item. Well, guess what . . . I received my ordered splash guards only after a week!!! Go figure. How is it that "Ford Accessories" (Ford's Parts Department) can get the splash guards but the Ford Factory can't??????? Unbelievable!!!! Oh, by the way, the floor mats are on back order. So all of you out there in Maverick Land thinking the floor mats are NOT a constrained item, think again. I have no idea what to tell ya concerning the splash guards. I'm now hoping to get my Maverick order so I have a vehicle to mount my splash guards on.

Good Luck, I hope you get your Mav soon!

Maybe the floor mats are backordered because the factory has them all.. I ordered mine with carpet and rubber mats. Hopefully that's not what's keeping it from a build date.

Ill take my mud flaps off for the cost of a good aftermarket set.

What I can’t understand is why the trucks are held up or passed over because of a constrained accessory item instead of building and shipping to the dealer and crediting or backordering the part to be installed later.

Amen, but that would be logical. Just put a credit slip on the front seat and let the dealer take care of it. Hell, GM sent vehicles out without heated seats, steering wheels and other constrained stuff. I work with a person that is still waiting on some of that stuff for over a year. But she is driving HER car!

I picked up my truck on Nov 8th. Ordered both the liners and carpeted mats. But missing the carpeted ones! Still waiting for my dealer to check.

I ordered a loaded Lariat Lux EB AWD. So lots of constraints. I was a priority 2 for a while. Then someone on the forum told me to drop the splash guards. Got a vin a week later. This has been a pet peeve of mine and think it's ridicules. And you just proved it! Also ordered the truck with liners and mats. The mats are missing.

Notice that the carpeted mats can be included in package but the optional non carpeted mats optional ordered item shows to be listed as "floor liners without carpeted mats". This implies that when you choose this option the price is reduced somewhat because you have ordered floor liners without carpeted mats instead of floor liners WITH carpeted mats! I do not recall seeing the with carpet mats option!. Perhaps we should order the non carpeted floor liners from dealer???

Still confuses me. I ordered floor liners with carpeted mats. I did get the floorliners. But expected a set of carpeted mats too. From what I can tell it would only be carpeted mats for the front, none for the back. Just want to get what I ordered.

I got the rubber mats but dealer still owes me carpet mats. Its on my window sticker and I paid for them so I would like to get them. If not, I will have them refund me and I will order some Lloyds mats.

Also, a special on Ford badges. $9.99 each or 150 for $499.

Yes, I see the 175 option should be WITH the carpet front mats, if you paid 175 then they owe you them. I had originally envisioned floor liners with carpet mats to a matt bonded to the floor liner not just thrown on top of it. Now I question when do the standard carpet mats come with what truck and would I have got them if I had not ordered the floor liner WITHOUT carpet mats. ????

I have had my slash guards for the last year with no Maverick to put them on. In this world they are worth about $400. Now don't be jealous of my unicorn mud flaps Sorry ADM inflation you know they are severely constrained! Man those are some good looking splash guards.

Send them to the factory in Mexico so 1 more person can get their Maverick, & then buy a set of Rokbloks, they have better coverage, especially in the rear.
