2025’s in Transit?

[BeachFerret]

Just did a Google search and a two of my local dealers are looking for buyers for their ‘25 Mavericks. No window sticker yet but the VIN is.

Interestingly, this one looks to be a hybrid. Technically, I don’t see in transit on this one:

I think you’re putting a lot of stock in the accuracy of dealer websites.

“In Transit” never means “in transit”

Also the link you have under the one you said looks like a hybrid has the motor listed as turbocharged. So definitely not the hybrid.

Engine:
Intercooled Turbo Premium Unleaded I-4 2.0 L/122

Not a hybrid.

Just this week I have seen 2 local dealers advertise 2025's. I would imagine these are dealer orders which they should be getting around the same time as the first custom builds and they are looking for buyers.

Sounds good, thought I saw a CVT reference as well.

I know my local dealer lists incoming vehicles in their "inventory," even if they’re already customer orders. So, those cars aren’t actually available—it’s likely just an advertising tactic. And it’s working it seems haha

I call this false advertising or the old bait and switch sales tactic.

I'm pretty sure I've heard that listing custom orders in their inventory is a Ford mandated thing, not a dealer choice.

Either way it's pretty annoying when you're trying to actually shop.
