Latest Maverick Production Key Commodity Constraints (8/18/23)

[bighap]

I see, thanks for clarifying. Has the current rollover count been revealed? If not, is there a time we expect for it to be?

I could be mistaken but I don't recall Ford ever revealing rollover numbers for 22 to 23.

Hybrid is 6,882 over
XL is 6,353 over

I'm willing to bet there is a ton of overlap there and best data shows Ford scheduled over 6,000 hybrids for the month of September.

But, if Ford builds 100,000 Mavericks this model year, those Hybrid orders end up being only 36% of capacity and the XLs end up being only 18.5% of capacity.

So, XL Hybrid order holders: be patient but there is every reason to be optimistic your MY24 order will happen this model year (assuming your dealership didn't overbook their allocation).

Wait so there are only 53k MY24 Maverick orders?…

That's "only" double the number of MY23 rollovers. And I think perfectly doable, which is why Ford hasn't closed the books yet.

Ford was smart to prevent dealerships from ordering far more than their allocation. That is what has caused some of the longest waits.

And with a 13 month instead of 11 month production run and adding a 3rd shift they can probably build close to 150K Mavericks for MY24.

Ambitious. I would put it closer to 120,000 simply due to the random production slowdown.

I think it will come down to the Maverick / Bronco Sport production split. Will they keep on making more Bronco Sports? With how many BS are on dealer lots, I think they will shift production to the Maverick. On the other hand, it will not matter if they don't get more Maverick orders.

Wow that’s so low compared to MY23. I understand why but I’m also confused on why they want to produce less since they added a 3rd shift this year

They don't want to produce less. And they aren't going to produce less. That's just how many RETAIL ORDERS there are.

Ford will have no trouble filling ±55,000 retail orders for 2024 Mavericks. And that means by next spring you are likely to start seeing some stock Mavericks on lots around the country. And by summer probably lots of them. Remember, Ford is going to keep building Mavericks just like they do F-150s, Escapes, etc. If they aren't customer orders, they'll just start building whatever configurations they want and ship them to dealer lots across the country.

Look the tow hitch is magically off the list but mud flaps persist. When does the 24 model year begin scheduling?

There are a lot of XL only parts in the interior, such as the seats and trim pieces.

Dear Ford,

Please feel free to build my XL but use any XLT parts necessary to finish out my build.... Because you seemingly can't plan for !

XL is starting to feel like a bait and switch, just so they can have press written about their new "low cost" tuck.

Thursday.

I’ve been waiting over a year for my maverick which isn’t too bad compared to a lot of people. While I have a collection of accessories growing in my closet, I wouldn’t want them to rush to make more trucks only to find the quality of build went down and suddenly there are more recalls.

I've resorted to more effective ways to toy with my emotions regarding delivery of my theoretical truck.

... Damnit!

My XL hybrid is scheduled for production this week. But until it's built and shipped, I'm not buying any accessories for it. I started to go ahead and order some floor mats, but I said nope, don't want to jinx it!

Ford, stop picking on the XL's! If the customers want them, build them!!!! I have owned 9 Rangers over the years and I am getting tired of this constraint stuff. I switched from hybrid to ecoboost to get a truck, and now you are building more hybrids than ecoboosts. It is hard to know what to order when you keep changing the rules!

I am not sure about this year but my 22 rolled over to a 23 took about 6 weeks from the time of rollover to pickup. I had an XLT hybrid with lux package.
