This seems to be the place to find if there's anyone out there with worse luck then me when it comes to getting their Maverick. I put my deposit down on July 4th, 2022 and it looks like, best case scenario, I might receive my Maverick by July 4th, 2024. If I'm unlucky, which seems to be the only kind I've had so far, it probably won't be until September or October.
Details: I put my deposit down to hold my place on the allocation list at the dealership for when the order banks opened in the fall of 2022. My order was placed about 4 hours after the order banks opened. But, due to all the issues Ford was having and the allocation system, my truck was two below the cut line for MY 2023, so had to get rolled over into MY 2024.
The dealership was supposed to keep the allocation order the same when rolling over the orders, but due to the salesman screwing up and literally forgetting my hand my folder off until the end of the day the order bank opened, I went from second in line to about thirty second, behind all the other rollovers and everyone who put a deposit down in 2023. I was not pleased by this, but was told there was basically no way to change the allocation order once they had been entered.
Finally, I get a build date in January and my truck is on it's way. Two delivery date push backs later, I find out my truck in part of the gas tank recall. I immediately called the sales manager at the dealership and he looked into it. Confirms it's part of the recall and they can't sell the truck until it's fixed. They're telling him that Ford used all of the available spare inventory of gas tanks fixing the trucks they caught before they were shipped out. They're not planning on having any more available until the end of the model year run, sometime in the forth quarter of 2024.
Looking at the options, he said my best shot at getting a truck before the end of the year would be to resubmit the order as an emergency replacement and he would get someone higher up the chain at Ford to set it to a low single digit priority code and transfer my private offer over to the new VIN. Put the new order in this morning, waiting on the higher ups now.
Doing the math, even if it gets scheduled in the next possible run, it wouldn't go into production until the beginning of June. This truck took over six weeks to get here, but let's say they put a rush on that too, and get its here in four, that would still be the beginning of July. I don't see any way I'm getting my Maverick in less than two years.

I have downloaded tons of window stickers. Any particular reason you want the engine heater? I don't know anything about them.
