I gave up waiting. Paid through the nose for a Lariat. Yeah, I am 70...waiting is not a good option.

They EcoBoost delay makes no sense to me... they must be building a ton of fleet, but why delay the retail orders if you don't have to.The EBs were supposed to be high build capacity with low order numbers, yet here we are hoping that we can get scheduled in June - 9 months after ordering.
The 25,191 vehicles produced in March is near the plant capacity for 2 shifts and over 60% of them are Bronco Sports. They probably wanted to build up a good supply on dealer lots since they make more on them than the Mav.They EcoBoost delay makes no sense to me... they must be building a ton of fleet, but why delay the retail orders if you don't have to.
I'm not paying $45 million on a Maverick.The F 22 Raptor assembly line is faster than the Maverick assembly line, in my opinion!

Ford has 1 more Thursday to schedule my eb lariat with no constans after 17+ months of waiting or I'm done!! I'll be looking at other options!! Can't wait any longer!!!If I give up, I'm giving up on Ford entirely.
They sure seem to take a lot of vacation in Mexico! Seems like this is 3 down weeks in a row!The silver lining is the longer it takes for my Maverick, the bigger down payment I can save up. I’ll keep telling myself that.
This is exactly where I was on March 16 - original order Nov 1, 2021, and that was my end-of-my-rope date. No email that day, throwing in the towel and buying a used SUV. Hopefully this works out well for as it (finally) did me.Ford has 1 more Thursday to schedule my eb lariat with no constans after 17+ months of waiting or I'm done!!

You are absolutely correct. I have family who works at the Hermosillo plant and they confirmed the plant is down all week for Semana Santa (Holy Week). I was originally scheduled 4/17 but got pushed to 4/22.I did see this on Reddit also. It's vacation week in Mexico it seems.
"........the Mexico plant is down for the week for Mexico's Holy Week (Easter), and will start back up on Monday"
Wait I don't think we have any silly misconceptions about vehicles built on a Saturday!You are absolutely correct. I have family who works at the Hermosillo plant and they confirmed the plant is down all week for Semana Santa (Holy Week). I was originally scheduled 4/17 but got pushed to 4/22.
My cousin told me that they are planning on opening the plant on the Saturdays of April to catch up on orders due to this weeks closure/maintenance.
Almost there myself….If I give up, I'm giving up on Ford entirely.
I finally get my 2022 hybrid as a 2023 after waiting 16 monthsI hope so! I'm over 6 months now for an ecoboost. I know that's nothing compared to some here... but in the normal course of the auto industry- ridiculous.
IIs it to late to upgrade xlt with the luxury package? I've seen a number of hybrid xlts with luxury packages getting delivered. The tow hitch seems to get priority on that package as opposed to just ordering the hitch which is constrained. Maybe they will build it then?
i thought this too and talked to my dealer in feb and they advised me not too as I was close and also (and this is me as a non ford person trying to get right). The price guarantee since we did the Covid or cosip something is tied to the overall power train . If I switched from hybrid to eco boost, no price guarantee and it was sorta to the end of line for the allocation of those. When the initial plan came out I ordered an Xlt hybrid even though I really wanted a lariat cause the numbers quoted increased my odds and bammo I am in build now.Is it to late to upgrade xlt with the luxury package?
