I was told by Ford Chat this morning that my XLT Hybrid has a ETA at dealership of December 23-27th. Went into production on 11-14.

Just got finished chatting with Ford. My Maverick XLT showed in production on 11-14. As of this morning it's still showing in production. But I get did some information. I was informed my ETA at the dealership is December 23rd-27th. I know this contradicts the information on a 6 week hold.

A six week hold is going to create a huge backlog of Mavericks to be shipped after the 1st of the year.

My Maverick is alive as well. If the modules are populated does this mean assembly is complete?

Same here. In production 11/14. Going down the line as i type this. Thanks Ford.

If the talk about a six week hold is correct then they're a long way from being sold.

If this same assembly plant builds both the Maverick and Bronco Sport the line has to stop. You must have time between the shifts to restock the line for the different parts.

Assuming it's a two week assembly process would mean there's around 8k vehicles on the line at the same time. I find that hard to believe.

Ford sends an email saying the vehicle is in production when, in fact, not a single piece of that vehicle is even in the assembly plant. The only part of that vehicle that might exist would be the manifest or the build sheet.

How do you produce over 15,000 per month if the assembly process takes 2 weeks?

I thought the entire assembly process was about a day and a half.

True. However my VIN is in the high 3000's. Also, doesn't this same plant build the Bronco Sport? I'm assuming it's a split shift with one shift building Mavericks and the other Broncos.

I'm beginning to wonder how reliable the information is. I've seen people on this site with earlier VIN numbers than mine that are scheduled to be built after mine. I'm a 30 year autoworker, some of this info isn't adding up.

My Maverick is scheduled to be built this week, yet I'm still unable to view the window sticker. Beginning to wonder if production has even started. Has anyone else been able to view the window sticker on an ordered 2025 Maverick?

If you have your order number Ford Chat can help you with more information.

It's my understanding that production of the 2025 Maverick begins tomorrow. 11-11-24.

That's going to be a huge number of Mavericks held if they don’t ship anything until the first of the year. Probably over 20,000 vehicles. Seems like that would cause some shipping issues after Jan 1.

Most parts are already coordinated when they're delivered to the plant. Assembly plants don't "store" parts in the assembly area. Parts are delivered the day of assembly. Assembly lines are restocked several times each shift.

I'm a retired autoworker, including several years in assembly of Corvettes in Bowling Green, Kentucky. A vehicle wasn't considered in production until it had actually started down the line.
