Did my weekly chat with Ford customer service today. Still no movement on my January EB order. Obviously nothing I can do but I did reach out to my dealer and ask him to move my order priority from 19 to 10. Figured the worst he could say was no, but he actually did it. Here is his reply:
So I...
Reached out to my dealer today -- Koch 33 Ford in Easton, PA. Still no movement on my January order but the sales manager did say they are seeing more orders scheduled of late.
As of today, 12 of 56 Maverick orders are scheduled, or roughly 21 percent of thier model year total with 4-5 months...
Here's a question I am sort of hoping @fordvideoguy will answer, but I'm posting here with the thought that the information will be helpful to anyone still waiting for their Maverick order to be built. It's also possible that other dealers active on this forum and/or @Ford Motor Company may have...
So, after listening to the @fordvideoguy livestream on YouTube last night, one of the big takeaways is that Ford plans to build more than 10,000 Mavericks in June (April scheduling). So, that's pretty good news, as it indicates a significant increase from current production levels.
Tim also...
Well, I know it was stooping pretty low, but today I offered Robert at Ford customer service five dollars to fast track my Maverick for production. Sad to say, he has too much integrity to give into temptation. So, I guess I'll have to wait at least another week...
One interesting tidbit from last night's YouTube live stream with @fordvideoguy was the number of Mavericks Ford intends to produce this month. Tim said it is 5,400 units, which is down from February and also down from a previously stated goal of 6,000.
As Tim noted in the video, if you assume...
Interesting article the Mav was the fifth Fastest-Selling Vehicle in America last month.
Santa Cruz did not Crack the top 20!
New data from iSeeCars points out the obvious – the 2022 Ford Maverick was one of the top 20 fastest-selling new vehicles in January, too.
The Maverick came in as the...
It is common on some vehicles for lift Kits to cause premature wear of the CV joints, particularly on higher lifts. What are everyone's thoughts regarding thy impact of various lift options on the Maverick?
OK folks, since I have nothing better to do while I wait for Ford to build my truck, I want to know: who has gotten pulled over by the cops in your Mav? And if you did, did the cop want to know all about the truck and then let you go because it's so cool? 😁
Important news, particularly for those of us waiting on vehicle orders to be built.

I find it interesting that after two-plus years of controversial, government-imposed lockdowns, restrictions and mandates that...
The average price of a new vehicle topped $45,000 for the first time in December, and is up 20% year over year. Still think waiting to pay MSRP for your shiny new Maverick is a bad deal?

Here's an interesting news story today, reporting that GM's 2021 U.S. sales volume was down 13 percent, yet net profit was up an incredible 56 percent! This is due to vehicles being in short supply, pushing prices to an all-time high...
I was a "Johnny come lately" who had looked at a Maverick about 6 weeks ago but only decided to place an order when Ford announced EB orders would be cut off Jan. 27. I placed my order with Koch 33 Ford in Easton, PA, on Jan. 24. Shout out to sales manager Bill Kammetler who has been great with...
So, with yesterday's cutoff date for MY22 Maverick orders, how many new retail orders do you think were placed this week? I'd have to imagine Ford was flooded with them, as all the fence-sitters scrambled in at the last minute.
BTW, I am one of them. I placed an order Tuesday for an EB XLT...
Well folks, that's it. It is now 10 pm EST, and the order banks for a 2022 Maverick are CLOSED.
Now we WAIT. And wait. And wait.
Remember, we're all in this together!
Hello from ice-covered Pennsylvania! I sure as heck hope the groundhog doesn't see his shadow next month!
So, I was at the gym yesterday when I stumbled on a news article about Ford halting orders on the 2022s. I had been to a dealer a few weeks back -- about an hour from home -- that had an...
Anyone out there have a truck equipped with the factory "LED Box Lighting" referred to in the XLT luxury package? I assume this is also standard on the Lariat. Very curious as to how many lights there are and how effectively they illuminate the cargo area. Any photos anyone can post would be...
