Anyone here with a 11/13 build week or later had their production delayed?

No updates this week and Ford chat has no updates either…

What's your ETA now? Mine is currently 12/12 - 12/18.

Just checked with Ford chat and it’s still estimated to be delivered 12/02 - 12/08 which seems, uh, a bit optimistic.

I’ll be out of town the week of Christmas so if it ends up showing up by then I’m screwed. I dont trust my dealer to actually call me when it comes in.

Not your build week, but take what Ford chat and especially the Ford tracker site says with a grain of salt. The tracking said mine was built on the 28th and shipped on the 29th of April. Eta to dealer was June 1-15. No change in eta, numerous checks with chat and online, even when I checked on May 16, about 5 pm. I decided to call Ford chat after supper to see if they could at least tell me what country (Mexico, U.S. or Canada) my truck was in.
At 7pm prior to contacting Chat, I checked the tracker and, it's been delivered and in final prep. Seeing is believing, 10 minutes later, I was looking at mine and 3 other Mavericks.

Edit, add. My point is don't believe everything on the tracker or chat.

The build week 11/13 orders are having some kind of hold up. Orders have been sitting at the received from body company status for several days now.

Does anyone have a factory contact that could give some insight?

That would be awesome but no idea. @fordvideoguy any idea?

Update everyone! I contacted my dealer and they say it shows as In-Transit with ETA of 12/12 according to their system.

It's worth a shot to ask your dealer for an update. I simply said the online tracker has not been updated since 11/16 and would like an update.

I don't have a contact at the plant and you probably won't get anyone to help you. I can tell you about the 8 vehicles that we had that were built that week. 5 are still at the plant and haven't shipped out yet. 2 are in KC and should be here this week. 1 arrived at the dealership on Saturday.

I know everyone thinks the first built should be the first shipped out but it doesn't work that way. I have a theory that they get parked and if they have a delay at the railyard then they park newer Mavericks behind the older ones so they can't get to those older ones before moving the more recent ones. So if you are going to move it anyway, why not go ahead and put in on the train. Thus, vehicles built later get shipped out before vehicles built before them. This is just a theory but I've seen it happen a lot. I have 3 2023 Mavericks sitting at the railyard in Kansas City but have received about 35 2024 Mavericks. It happens and no one can do anything about it. Once they are released it is out of Ford's hands and into the shipping company. Ford can't tell them what to do.

Not that this information can help but maybe explain some things for you.

Makes sense, in a Ford way haha. Thanks for the detailed answer/insight

Would In-transit show only if it has shipped? Trying to gauge what order status is more accurate (tracker vs chat vs dealer)

Mine was scheduled 11/13. Been showing in production since 11/16. Nothing new since then. Frustrating.

mine is the same way 11/13 scheduled in production 11/16 nothing new since

Thanks Tim. Makes sense.

That would explain why my Maverick sat at the plant for three weeks before shipping.

Yeah I talked to my dealer and they helpfully told me it's in production and they would let me know when it arrives

dealer and chat should be the same. I don't trust the tracker as far as I can throw it. At least the tracker available on the it's built email to customers.

I honestly was not expecting it until spring so I’m not pulling my hair out yet. Originally scheduled week of Dec 11. That then changed to scheduled week of Nov 13. Got email saying in Production Nov 9, then later in Production date changed to Nov 17. Been sitting there ever since. Ford chat says it’s in second stage of production whatever that means.

I have the exact set of date changes but I was told by chat 11/18 it will be built. I am in Canada so I don't know if it takes 1 month to ship like my dealer told me (same with bronco sports and escapes). He said the mavericks take a bit longer but they are coming from the same factory...but they are coming in higher quantities so still not sure haha He also said I am River City's first MY24 maverick which would put me in the position that Ford Guy said of the back of the line possibly. I ordered when the banks opened July 17th so I'm just hyper ventilating at this point that it is finally coming lmaooo

I think some employees were in a rush to leave for Thanksgiving and they forgot to scan some barcodes before loading our trucks lol

No Thanksgiving in Mexico.
