FORD CEO FARLEY SAYS TWO ROW ICE CROSSOVERS GOING AWAY
We knew the Edge was going away and there were rumors about the Escape
But what does he mean by this? Is he including Hybrids and Plugin-Hybrids since they have an ICE? What about the Escape and Bronco Sport? Will they be electric only...
December production 7,536 Mavs. Not too bad with a Christmas shutdown.
Ford sold 61,575 US electric vehicles for the complete year. That moves them into second behind Tesla.
Maverick December 2022 Sales Highlights
Maverick December Sales: 5,878 vehicles. Sales (YTD): 68,492 vehicles...
Darren Palmer, who heads up Ford's electric vehicle (EV) program says there's more to come, with a renewed focus on in-car technology in the next phase of Ford's EV program.
"The things we're going to bring in the next three years are just mind blowing. They're doing things that vehicles never...
Here is my guess / hope at why they have not come out with the AWD Maverick Hybrid.
They are not going to use the mechanical AWD train that is in the Escape Hybrid. Rather, they are developing a completely new electric motor drive for the rear.
This saves all the complexity of getting power...
With 22 orders the normal process was your dealer set your priority code to 10 to 19 and then Ford bumped your order to priority code 2 when it was being considered for scheduling.
But that does not seem to be happening with 23s. Every scheduled 23 I have seen still had a priority code 10 or...
Ford’s hot-selling Maverick truck turned on dealer lots in just 6 days last month with sales up 123 percent. Maverick’s conquest rate is over 60 percent, with its top competitive conquests outside of pickups coming from Civic, Honda CR-V and Toyota’s RAV4.
The Maverick Hybrid accounted for...
Highest 2023 VIN 35,8XX scheduled through week of March 27th
Sequential VIN numbers are assigned to Mavericks as they are initially scheduled for production. This means it can be used to indicate how many vehicles Ford believes they can make through that date from the last 5 digits of the VIN...
Came across this today on a weather site. First you can't order a 2023 much less the 2022 listed in the ad. And they can sell everything they make without advertising.
Anyone else that was previously told you were unscheduled, clean, now being told you are unscheduled, balance out? I know my dealer sent in my license and completed the COVP process. I received two Ford e-mails saying I need to remove constraints if I want to improve my chance of getting a 22...
The Ford scheduling allocation system seems to be very dependent upon the sales region your dealer is located. I've asked around and even @fordvideoguy https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/october-hybrid-orders-united.12399/post-297565 has not seen a list of the US sales regions. I...
First they stop sending customer e-mails when their vehicle gets a scheduled production week.
Yesterday I called the marketing 800 number and they no longer will tell you your scheduling priority number. If your dealer won't tell you either, you are completely in the dark.
Highest VIN 115,100 dealer ordered.
Over 100,000 VINs! If the letters before the last 5 digits are NRB instead of NRA, you have to add 100K to the number.
Sequential VIN numbers are assigned to Mavericks as they are initially scheduled for production. This means it can be used to indicate...
Ford Forecasts ’22 Production Will Rise 10%+
https://www.industryweek.com/leadership/companies-executives/article/21215980/ford-forecasts-22-production-will-rise-10
Putting together a table of what modules come with which trim levels and options. This will server a few purposes:
First it will help us understand the build constraints better to know which modules (and therefore chips) come with which options.
Second, for anyone wanting to try and upgrade...
Tim put out these numbers last night on his live steam
As of 1/25/2022 they have:
559 total Maverick orders
90 delivered to customers
135 scheduled or built but not delivered yet
The remained 334 have not been scheduled yet
If you purchase from a dealership that owns multiple locations, does it matter which location you buy from? In other words, should you buy from the largest location the dealership owns? Or, do they all get treated equally as far as dealer allocations?
