Latest Maverick Production Key Commodity Constraints (7/17/23)

[Automate]

It is not looking like Ford cares much about the XL orders. Showing 13 percent over capacity on XL orders! Was 6 percent over on last report. Ford can surely see that demand for the XL is way over what they want to produce! Ford is only showing 20 percent capacity for XL in 2024!

The posted scheduling here on MTC showed only 1 XL scheduled for September

If you have splash guards on your ordered Maverick you either don't wan't it built or your not on the forum.

I am confused about constraints? items like mud guards, tonneau covers, bed liners, etc. can be obtained online. Ford needs better suppliers!

The problem on these is not the availability of parts, it's the installation labor. These components are not added to the vehicle as it is built like everything else. They are installed afterwards similar to the way the dealer would install them, one at a time as needed on individual vehicles.

Vehicles are coming off the end of the assemble line at least once every minute. These are completely assembled vehicles ready to be shipped and parked somewhere. But if they need a tonneau cover, a person has to find the vehicle and drive it to a post assembly area where they can install the tonneau cover. This is a time and labor intensive process for the assembly plant. Just let your dealer do it.

Thanx - I won't let my dealer do anything! Their communication with me has been abysmal!

I'm thinking these numbers have not been updated. Ratio matches before last week exactly and that isn't possible, mathematically, unless Ford scheduled hybrids at an 82% rate last week.

From the 7/13 Scheduling Thread 7/13/23 Scheduling Email Received Group [EMAILS NOW ARRIVING] I counted Hybrids at a 73.6% rate:

I counted all those who posted here in this thread that got a scheduled build date.

Here is a breakdown. Three of the entries are missing the Engine Type (Hybrid/EcoBoost).

By Body Type:

XL's: 1 - Going to Canada
XLT's: 42
Lariat: 27
Tremor: 2

By Engine Type:

Hybrid: 53
EcoBoost: 16
Unknown: 3

Interesting mix as Hybrids were at a 73.6% rate, EcoBoost at 22.2% rate and three unknowns 4.2%

Scheduled for week of:

8/28: 7
9/04: 30
9/11: 21
9/18: 12
10/2: 1 - This is the first one that I have seen scheduled in the final month of production

Data is a wild thing. Making projections from a tiny sampling can lead to wrong conclusions. Only a small percent of Maverick buyers are on the forum. Only a small percent of them provide data. Only way to have represetative data is at the end of the year after everything is built. And then it is still questionable.

I understand, should be someone local that can do it properly.

I am sorry always have to laugh when I see the mudflaps still on this list. They should just remove them and buy aftermarket.

Keyword is want to produce. Obviously not a Ford Priority.

People always say to vote with our wallets. Ford isn’t obvious the people have voted for hybrid and XL’s as those were the bargain buys. Don’t squander it like you did with the EV F-150 fiasco.

if we go into an ice cream shop and they have vanilla, chocolate and strawberry on the menu and most of us order chocolate don’t force vanilla on us.

they force vanilla on you because it costs more and the ice cream shop makes more money -

Unless, we go to the shop across the street then they just end up losing market share in the long run.
