So since there's no Hybrid Santa Cruz, why not convert to a 2.0EB?So now that I'm not getting a Maverick, I'm gonna get myself into a Hyundai Santa Cruz. Your thoughts are always welcome
I'll again say, if Ford really does have a glut of hybrid orders they truly cannot build and nowhere near the EB orders they can build, wouldn't it make sense for them to open a brief window for dealers to change some hybrids to EB IF that's what the customer wanted? I mean, I won't, I want and need my hybrid, but some would and there seems to be zero downside for Ford to allow it.
I probably have too much faith in Ford but personally I think if Ford had a number in mind that they could build they could have shut off the orders when that number was reached. And they did shut off the hybrid orders early. So, I am not convinced that they are not going to be able to build most of those hybrids. Only time will show of course.
Probably? LOL
After spending time reading these forum posts, you are going to accept without question what the dealer's sales rep told you.Hey guys!
I've got some shitty news... My sales rep at my local Ford was being a bit evasive over the phone so I went in person to see if he had any updates on my order, AND BOY DID HE!!!! Ford is allocating only a percent of all orders PER DEALER, and a tiny amount of those produced ordered are going to be hybrids. Here's where I got pissed:
If your order is not one of the above mentioned orders, your "Bumped" to next year's order lot!!!! So they're canceling your 2023 order and will recreate that order for next year, when the order banks open. I wasn't told this automatically, and basically had to pry that info from my dealer's sales rep. If your still waiting, GO ASK!!

Generally. But it depends on the dealer. My dealer had no hybrid rollovers I am aware of whereas others had a ton.
For all 23 vehicles, when talking about production limitations/order banks closing, Ford is saying that they are not intending on giving any "incentive" for unscheduled retail orders that need to move to the next MY. They gave out some big incentives for 22 -> 23, but it doesn't look like they will be continuing to do that in the future.
Just got off phone w/Ford nothing changed on my 2 ecoboost fwd,xlt's. They have been converted from 2022 January orders to 2023. She said to have dealer put to priority 99 and to make sure the "transition offers" that expire January 23rd are attached to deals @ dealer so the remain intact. Dealer keeps telling me that they do not(or cant) change the priority codes. Ford said if they don't change contact ford rep & if still doesn't happen contact Ford & will go up the chain w/them to get resolved. Makes no sense, Ford can see that they are rollovers in their system and it should be handled with them & dealer. Working on it.
You might want to talk to Long Lewis again. Mine is a 2022 rolllover. It hasn't been fun waiting over a year now. Supposedly, I have an build of Jan 23. I will be displeased to see 2023 orders that just placed to bump me. Ford is seriously deficient in this process.
See, that's the question I have. Was the order count they gave me for Long-Lewis or that Long-Lewis? I'm assuming you used Hoover? I used Prattville.
