What to do...

[Old Man]

The "good old days" of same day new car buying are gone (unless maybe you want a full-size pickup). They may return someday, but I think that will be years away. Since Ford is unable or unwilling to manufacture Mavericks, and most particularly Hybrid Mavericks, I plan on ordering a Hybrid Maverick every time the order book opens for a few days. I presume that only every other order will actually be built.

The most amusing thing about this situation is that nice Mr. Farley has stated that he wants to move Ford to a customer order model, instead of building vehicles for dealer stock. Then he makes Maverick, Bronco and other customers wait for YEARS to deliver vehicles. Instead of increasing production of vehicles that people want to buy, Ford focuses on EV production. I just read an article that said Ford loses $60,000 on each EV.

I am pretty sure that MY2024 Mavericks will be significantly more expensive.

They don't have a choice since many states will not allow new ICE cars to be sold soon.
That's how Tesla has stayed in business for years, losing tens of thousands of dollars on each EV but at least they make it up on volume.
Quit believing everything you read.

My Lariat hybrid was built in March. My wife's Lariat hybrid is being built in June. I flew to Detroit and bought her an XLT hybrid while thinking hers would never be built. Both of them GREAT. Wish you were not so far away, would treat you right on the 23 XLT, Area 51, Lux, CP 360, bedliner, tonneau cover, graphics, tint, etc. with 3K on it

So how much are we talking and where are you ?

I am near Dallas, TX - quite a ways from you. I am only going to get back what I paid for it. If you are serious and have a way to make the trip, you can PM me and I will look it up and send it to you.

If you have a'23 order and you re-order to a '24 Maverick when the order banks open up, don't you loose your spot in line?
I ordered a '22 in October '21. It was switched over in November '22 as a '23 model and it went to production in December '22.
