January 2023, after my 1997 GMC Sonoma failed its state inspection, I went to a local Ford dealer to talk about ordering a Maverick. The response was that the 2023 order book closed in one week and come see us in July to order a 2024. June 2023, went back to the dealership and the salesman...

Most the reviews I read recommending the XLT focused on the ability to add options (and increase the price). Like you, I could not see spending almost $3000 (before recent XL price increase) for wheels, rear armrest, and option to spend more money. I ordered an XL hybrid with CP360, the hitch...

When I built my XL in July, it came with manual mirrors. When I added the 360, the package included power mirrors and "full" size spare. For $650, adding it was a no-brainer

When I lived in Sacto (many decades ago), it was The Big Tomato

I ordered XL Hybrid July 17 - my dealer had good allocations AND no 2023 rollovers. Built December 23, shipped January 21, and currently on the train in-transit.

Coming from a 1997 GMC Sonoma SLS (top trim level), I also wondered about the Car and Driver comment about the XL

2024 XL Hybrid - add-on to auto policy with full coverage and high coverage limits is about $800 for the year. Travelers Insurance in Pennsylvania. Clean driving record for wife and myself. Actually more worried about insurance cost when my 17 year old daughter gets her license next month :(

My XL hybrid was in production for four weeks (sure part of it was the turn signal recall). And then another four weeks from built to shipped. When I ordered July 18, I did not expect it to arrive until April or May at the earliest. So, still ahead of schedule - when it gets here, it gets here.

Two days after the tracker flipped from Built to Order Confirmed, it flipped back to Built. Today, got the email that it has been shipped. Must be a load of Mavericks headed to Delaware - and then trucked over to PA.

Dealer gave me same date range for delivery. Fingers crossed

Mine just flipped back to order confirmed after built. My order date and built dates same as yours. I am also in PA (NEPA). Hope this means they are getting ready to load it on the train to Delaware.

Richard Long - actor. Probably best known for his role in the 60's TV Western The Big Valley.

Is that a Big Valley reference?

Like most of the folks who ordered the XL, there was little in the XLT that I needed for the additional cost. First day 2024 orders opened, I ordered XL hybrid, Atlas blue, with the co-pilot 360 for safety (power mirrors and full size spare are a nice add), hitch, and bed mat. Through sheer...

Ordered 2024 XL Hybrid July 17. Got lucky - dealer had no 2023 rollovers and I was first 2024 order. I expected minimum 6-8 month wait. Got email from Ford on August 24 that build is scheduled for week of October 30
