2024 Ford Maverick XLT 4x4 4k Tow Order/Delivery Timeline

[Trrllhrr]

The initial order placement up to delivery took about 4 months. I placed the order on 02/23/2024 for a Ford Maverick XLT 4x4 4K Tow w/ Lux Package + some other options (see attached) then I waited a couple weeks just lurking on the Maverick Truck Club forms and watching videos about how to get my order scheduled as soon as possible.

I found on one of the forums that the Hard Tri-Fold Tonneau Cover would delay order scheduling because of part shortages etc. so I emailed the dealer and had them adjust the order to remove that option, and literally the next day the truck was scheduled for production. This happened on 03/14/2024 and the truck was scheduled for a little over a month forward in April (see attached).

The truck was built in a day and then it took a little over a month to ship it to Seattle from its origin. The dealer emailed me photos when it was delivered on 05/28/2024.

Now that I’ve had the truck for a little over 4 months I can say that everything is great. I love it. Except for getting a rock chip 1k miles in (currently at 4,356 miles)… I just patched the rock chip and it looks as good as new for $10 lol.

I’m glad I got the non-hybrid version though after watching all of the videos because I didn’t want to deal with the droning when towing (coming from the nightmare 2013 Ford Focus SE Hatchback I just couldn’t do the noise), I have a higher tow capacity, and it’s very fast for what it is. Mpg isn’t too bad in the city, but it’s pretty decent on the highways. Great truck, plus I can fit my bike in the back if I turn it diagonally (Trek FX2)!

Hello and welcome to MTC. Congratulations on your Maverick. Just wondering if you did get an aftermarket hard trifold tonneau cover after taking delivery? Also did you replace the drop in bed liner or get a bed mat? Hope you continue to enjoy your new Maverick.

Thank you! I didn’t bother getting an aftermarket Tonneau cover but I did research it for a while though. I kept the drop in bed liner from the factory in the bed since it’s nice and protective already. The benefit of not having the Tonneau cover on the bed is that I can just easily throw the dog in the back which he loves…and I’m also working on building a portable camping solution which I’ll post at some point once I'm finish building it.

FYI I think I got one from Amazon like $360 delivered. It's easily removable or just a flip or two to get a third or two thirds of your bed. Unless you plan on leaving your camper on permanently. Whatever you decide hope you continue to enjoy your truck. Also beware if you get in the bed any water frost etc on your shoes it's mighty slippery, with that drop in bedliner just forewarned be careful.

Oh that's much cheaper than the Ford option. Yes the camper will fold flat and basically stay in the bottom of the bed so that the bed is still usable. Ah okay winter is coming so that's good to know.
