Truth about Hybrid Maverick orders - not delayed says Maverick team

[Darksider]

I think the price will stay steady and the demand will be less, you can already see the orders slowing down for theses cars.

They don't need to - not for awhile. It will sell itself better on the road than it has being posted and reviewed online. We all like to think we are regular average joes...you don't end up posting on a vehicle forum unless you actively want it!

Maverick gets a LOT of looks - all my neighbors have asked about it, 2 looked at it and 1 is thinking about buying one. Can't remember the last time someone signaled me to roll down my window at a stop light to ask me what.is.that. The Maverick is going to be popular. Very popular.

So just speculation then that today was the OKTB date.

It may be true that today was the day but I will wait for the official OKTB from Ford before I celebrate.

It does bode well that the "not for sale" was removed and just like the EPA 42 City MPG window sticker that was leaked it took a few days after to get an official release from Ford.

I bought a new 2019 Ranger in Sep 2019. When I was playing with the Build and Price (B&P) on the Maverick earlier this year I thought the truck seemed pricy. I did the B&P on a 2021 Ranger and the version most optioned like my 2019 truck has gone up about $3,000.

So, yes, the 2023 will be more, especially with this demand.

Buy more now and resell!! Lol

With how the Fed is botching everything these days and blaming Covid ... What if they are just behind on OKTB any new vehicles?

You make an interesting point.

If it really is a problem with the "Fed botching everything these days," then we would expect to see the OKTB significantly delayed on lots of other vehicles, not just the hybrid Maverick.

So... Has anyone heard of the OKTB being seriously delayed on other types of vehicles?

If you order now, most likely you will have a May delivery. I don't think there will be any June deliveries because of switch over for 2023. Maybe a July or August delivery, depending on demand.

Is the latest still January for the first Hybrid sales?

Seriously, Tim Bartz is amazing and has provided us so much more information that on our own dealers have. If i had been smart, I'd have ordered thru him! That being said, I think we can reasonably assume that the hybrids are in fact delayed, given the 40% production allocation for hybrids and the assumed large # of orders to fill and the fact they are closing down the MY soon (can they really expect to crank out 100,000 before next summer?), the nonexistent production schedule for most of us early reservers, shipping not until January for those who actually received a production date, and the "we're sorry FITS deal". I'm not venting against Tim, his videos are seriously amazing, just venting at Ford for their lack of communication to those who've ordered. And let's not talk about small town dealers who have allocations but haven't even had an EcoBoost picked up.

But who knows, maybe they'll ramp production to the max starting in January, but seems unlikely in my opinion. Its obvious the hybrid was a PR thing, with Ford totally unprepared to actually produce it in large quantities.

Sorry all, needed a safe place to vent.

Remember that Ford stated in the email with the Hybrid EPA MPG ratings that the next thing that was needed was the EPA Federal and States emissions ratings.

So maybe we should be looking at the window stickers for which states have completed their ratings and which states are holding up the OKTB.

From the other thread and this one these are the States that have completed emissions testing:

Alabama
California
Florida
Minnesota
North Carolina
Ohio
Washington
Wisconsin? - didn't state his order was a Hybrid but posted in this forum

So just waiting on those other 42 states

The hybrid window stickers that are turning blue -- are they from states that have EPA emissions complete? Sorry if that's obvious I was just assuming it was randomness of Ford's... <waves hands> whatever.
