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

[Thoron99]

Kind of reluctant to make any changes at this point, since from what others have posted many dealers are unclear on how to properly process them.

Remember, it has been pointed out by fordvideoguy that ordering the CMS can be confusing for some Sales individuals. You may want to point out that you want to add the "BED TIE DOWN LOCKING RAILS w/2 LOCKING BRACKETS" (order code 61D). That's the same item that can confusingly also be referred to as the "CARGO MANAGEMENT SYSTEM" or "6 D-LINK BED CONNECTORS".

So they should add the SIBL and 61D Bed Tie down Locking Rails w/2 Locking Brackets.

So did Ford make a mistake by calling it the Cargo Management System? Seems like a pretty confusing bundle, especially if you don't get to see if you actually got the discount until your truck arrives.

Will they actually make a change so that dealers can see the discount when they put it in?

Seems hard to trust this upgrade as is.

I spoke with my salesman yesterday about the SIBL and cargo system. He said it was to late to make any changes to my order since my build date is January 9th.

Yet another mess...

Ford marketing made this announcement before their pricing systems were updated to reflect the discount. And the description is wrong leading to more confusion. On top of that, this change will spike SIBL demand and likely lead to another commodity constraint. They should have left well enough alone.

I can only wait patiently for the next screw up to appear.

I don't see the need to rush anything based on the fact I'm a hybrid who is not changing powertrains.

I'll give all the different parts of the Ford empire a couple of weeks to all get on the same page, and then I'll contact my dealer. The sales rep I used has been with the dealer for 28 years, so he knows the systems.

My paranoia comes from the fact I'm an A-plan order, so it not getting built only earns Ford a higher sales price, and I assume the dealer's allocated unit would go to a full MSRP order.

Agreed. And so much conflicting info coming out even from Ford themselves. Not worth the risk. I’m just gonna let my order ride (love a good pun) and be happy with what I get (if I do get something).

No

I think it only resets the order date if you change trim like xl to XLT and/or body code from non-tremor to tremor. I think motor changes won't change order receipt date but even then if you have a priority 10 at your dealer it would just put you in the back of the que to other priority 10's. You would still be ahead of the 11, 12, 13 etc assuming your dealer has segregated based on rollover month like LM. If you are a new 23 I believe it would put you at the back of the line.

It would also reset the date if you change a Lariat trim from Hybrid to EB, because that drags along the AWD option (required for Lariat EB). Thus the body code changes from W8E to W8F. That is the specific question I was responding to. Sorry if it was unclear.

I asked my dealer the same thing and he said there was no "line" just a pool of orders that Ford picks from. So, at least from my dealer, it's just what ever Ford decides to build. Everyone also has the same Priority Code.

Both of the dealers I ordered from did the same thing: All '23 orders went in as Priority 10. Both said they had zero roll-over '22s.

Regardless, the dealership SHOULD still know how many Maverick orders they submitted, as well as what their allocations are. I just wish they would share that info, so that I could tell if I've got 50% odds (hybrid on order) or 25% odds (dealer took twice as many orders as they have allocations).

One dealer won't tell me a thing - says they have no idea how many allocations they are getting, and won't share the number of Mavericks they ordered. The other one flat out told me they got 27 allocations, and that they took 27 orders, so if Ford happens to have a Hybrid slot when "my" allocation comes up, I should get it. Not holding my breath. Who knows what tomorrow brings in the continuing saga of "Maverick Roulette"...

Ford has updated their communication about Maverick builds and is giving dealers and customers a chance to change their options.

sorry but what is the usob and the capacity lines referring to?

I was wondering about this. Do we know this for a fact, or is that the kind of thing where all the people say "no it won't" but the computer says "yes it does"?

I think it stands for United States Order Bank.

Thanks, I'll bring that up today.

I was told by the Maverick team last night that the order date is not being used in determining Scheduling this year because all the orders came in such a short amount of time.

If two people ordered the same truck with same priority code, one on Friday and one on Sunday, how do they determine who gets it?

I do not personally know this for a fact, but Tim Bartz unequivocally said it in his video on this topic. And I'd take what he says to the bank...

I quit following this thread after 5 pages so this may have been covered but, will a hybrid to eco change push the previous (now eco) order to a priority code that’s toward the end of a dealers list? Meaning if person X was an eco order at priority 10 and person Y was a hybrid order at priority 10 but wanted to change to an eco, would the dealer put them to priority 11 effectively putting them toward the back of the line?

Please don’t respond with the “it comes down to more than just priority code. Ya gotta think of allocations and constraints” spiel, I’m pretty well versed in it. My question is will it effectively move the changed order to the back of the line.

According to Tim Bartz's video on this topic, it will NOT change your order, unless you have a Lariat Hybrid on order... On the Lariat, a change fro Hybrid to EB forces a change from FWD (W8E) to AWD (W8F), which is a different "series code" (chassis) and that WOULD re-set your order date.

That said, even the Lariat HYB to EB re-setting the order date might not matter much, since Ford is going mostly by dealer allocations and constraints, rather than by order date. But do make sure your dealer keeps their "priority code" (10-19) at least the same as it was before, so you don't drop behind others in line at that particular dealer...
