📝 (12/14/22) – 2023 MAVERICK AVAILABILITY MEMO Allows Order Switch From Hybrid to EcoBoost! + New Discount Package + Current Constraints Info

[Mav_RICK]

Not me. I already have a EB (with no complaints) and will either have a Hybrid Maverick next or it will be something other than a Ford.

Could I ask what type of driving you do mostly and what is your average fuel milage?

Is this also saying you CAN switch from Hybrid to Ecoboost?

Yes, note the highlighted part someone posted.

I was planning to go straight from the dealership to a local shop for a spray in whenever mine actually shows up, then build a tie down rail from the thread on this forum. This makes it much cheaper and quicker. I wasn't impressed with the factory spray in that my Dodge has but I might just take a chance on this for the price with the rail included.

I think lots of people dropped the SIBL from their orders and that may have had more impact than anything.

That could be correct and would be an easy fix to have the SIBL provided locally, but I am not dropping the Hybrid. Hybrid or BUST.

Yes I saw that but can't believe my eyes at this point

Very good information. Thank you for sharing.

It does look like they are saying they will allow changing from hybrid to EB? @KevCuRaoi and/or @fordvideoguy ???

Yes, I've just read it over a few times myself! But it does look like they will allow that (and are encouraging it). It will be interesting to track how many people make the hybrid to EB change!

So nice of Ford to offer this package AFTER I got scheduled.

I drive my XL FWD EB about 70 miles each day to and from work on rural county roads. I average between 30 and 33 MPG. Note the A/C alone cost about 2 MPG. I drive it in normal mode and not like a grandma so it can do better. I have seen averages of 34 MPG if I can keep my speed below 65. I have checked the math by hand and am usually within .5 MPG of the dash estimate.

That's pretty impressive! I have argued all along with my wife that with the small amount of driving we do with virtually no stop and go driving that the difference in fuel milage between Hybrid and Ecoboost does not add up to very many $$$$.

Nice that Ford is offering this SIBL and cargo system as a pkg. I took it off based on all of the constraints and got scheduled quickly but now going to be paying a fortune to have both of these installed aftermarket.

I sent a picture of the memo to my dealer and of course they have not heard of anything mentioned in the memo, so at this point I am going to just leave my order alone and leave the rest to the truck gods.

Unfortunately, I was in contact with my dealer yesterday after he tried to process my change from a hybrid xl 2.5 to a Ecoboost 2.0, and he said that that switch was not allowed, that Ford would be making no more 2.0 Mavericks this year. A group member said this was because motor switches are not allowed, but the communication from the dealer was specific re the 2.0 availability being maxed out. I THOUGHT I had read earlier that the 2.0 switch was encouraged, as they dropped the extra cost for that motor. Any advice on actually GETTING a truck appreciated, otherwise stuck singing the "35% BLUES"
This is the actual wording from my dealer: My GM attempted to change the order to an Ecoboost motor, but the Ford ordering utility would not accept this change. It informed him that the Ecoboost engine had received an early balance out, meaning no more non-hybrid Mavericks will be built in the 2023 model year.

But this memo just came out today. So maybe you were one day too early. This assumes Ford updated their system to match the memo.

It's a little unclear from the memo. Are they saying that the Spray In Bedliner is no longer a constraint? If that's the case, I am going to the dealer today to add it

Well, what IS CLEAR, is they have NOT done away with dealer allocations affecting your probability of getting your truck built.

I almost agree and will not be too disappointed if I don't get my 2023 XLT HPR Hybrid. In Ohio there is a license tax of an additional 100.00, each year, for a hybrid so that cuts into the savings also.
I can guarantee it is not worth arguing with the wife over, that never ends well even if I am right. HaHa.

This is an interesting definition of "high-demand"....how can it be high demand but also undersubscribed?
