Placed order for XL Hybrid on Oct 1, 2021. Still nothing. Dealer expects that most of their Hybrid orders will not get filled again this year (but they have had several Ecos show up). If I don't get it this year, then zero plan to place another order.

In addition to what Traegorn said, the "same as other hybrid orders" is also incorrect. There are 4x the number of XLTs being built as there are XLs. Let's assume you are the 3rd hybrid order out of 10 at your dealer with an XLT and XL being in front of you. You should be 3rd in line, correct...

If they did not do a COVP, you are screwed. Out of the 100+ different Private Offer posts on this forum, there has been only 1 (one) that was successful in getting a PO without a COVP. If I remember correctly, that person actually worked at the dealership and his boss "called in a favor" with...

First, re-read KdbE message and do everying he said. The absolute most important thing is that your dealer did the COVP for your MY22 order. Contact the dealer and ask them for the MY22 COVP confirmation code (even better, get the whole confermation e-mail that Ford sends to the dealer). If...

The parasitic drag behind the back window will be increased significantly. Any MPG benefit from adding the bed cover is probably gone. Since the spoiler throws the air up instead of letting it flow over the cab, you are effectively increasing the wind frontal area as well. From a MPG...

LOL. No problem with that ;-) Kind of like me and fishing lures :-)

It looks cool, but I have to ask: what is the purpose? Based on all my aerospace classes many, many moons ago, that spoiler will likely reduce your daily gas mileage by 1-2 MPG (more at interstate speeds). Unless you are pulling a trailer that is at or just slightly above the roof height of the...

I talked to my dealer (mid-size Ford dealer in Texas) this past week about my Oct 1, 2021 XL Hybrid order (Unscheduled: Clean Priority 10). He indicated that they had roughly 300 Maverick orders in September including "over 50 non-VIN roll-overs" from last year. I am not sure how many total VIN...

I wonder if this is a CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Efficiency) issue? The required minimum MPG go up by about 1-2 MPG per year. All the small vans get around 25 MPG and have a footprint probably around 48-52 square feet (the Maverick is just shy of 53 square feet by my math). The MPG in the...

Will hit the 500 club this week. Still no VIN. Unscheduled:Clean with Priority 10. I talked to the dealer yesterday (he called to see if I wanted an Eco order that was rejected). He said they took in about 300 Maverick orders in September (this is a mid-size Ford dealer in Texas). I asked him...

The whole point of the Hybrid is to not have to pay the CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) tax. For each Hybrid sold, Ford gets credits that allow them to sell 3-4 Maverick Ecoboosts (or apply the credit to other non-fuel efficient vehicles such as the Bronco). CAFE and the Chicken Tax are...

To provide some more info, I calculated the Vehicle Footprint of a Maverick as roughly 53 square feet (63" average track width times 121.1" wheel base). That means under the car CAFE standards that the Maverick needs to get just less than 42 MPG this year and a little over 43 MPG next year. It...

Wow. That RAM looks nice. Just wished it had a Texas license plate and not a Mexico one :-( Unfortunately, between the Chicken Tax and the Fuel Economy Tax we are doomed to not have any small, fuel efficient trucks here in the USA. Someone here a few weeks ago pointed to a great YouTube video...

Nope. No VIN on the original order. I originally went with a small dealer that only got something like 5 allocations for the entire year (out of 12 orders). Moved my order to a much larger dealer in September that agreed to give me a Priority 10 code the same as their other non-VIN roll-overs (I...

I am 10/1/21 and still no VIN. Ordered an XL Hybrid with only a hitch so probably less than a 50% chance it will ever get built :-(

I ordered an XL Hybrid a month before you. Still waiting to get a VIN as well. I still put the odds of it ever getting built at less than 50%. Assuming Ford builds 100k Mavericks this year, only roughly 3250 of those will be XL Hybrids (and I think one of the estimates thrown out was that there...

Ordered 10/1/21. Never got a VIN. Re-ordered 9/19/22. Very good chance it will never get built since an XL Hybrid with only a hitch :-(

If by "holding its value" you mean that you will get a substantial amount back if you sell in 6-9 months (i.e., when/if a Hybrid becomes available), then I think you are in for a rude awakening. From what I have seen, quotes (Carvana/CarMax/Zoom/etc.) for used Ecoboost Mavericks are down by...

This question has come up several times at some of the YouTube sites I watch. Relative to "custom orders" (i.e., not just Maverick or even Ford for that matter), the general consensus was that last year somewhere around 5%-10% of custom orders were rejected (not sure how "last-minute" ADM by...

Your "rollover discount" is what Ford calls a "Private Offer". There are probably over 100 threads on this subject on the this Forum For some, there have been no issues. For others (like me), it has become more and more frustrating as no-one at Ford or the Dealer cares to do anything to ensure...
