The differences in prices that are being offered are crazy. After waiting over a year, not sure when/if my XL Hybrid will every be built. I have started looking for a used vehicle to tide me over (will just give it to my son if I ever get my Maverick). At least in my area of Texas, KBB Trade-in...

I placed an order for a Maverick Hybrid back on October 1 of 2021 and still do not have one (or even a VIN for one). My chance of it ever being made is likely less than 50% (and that is being at the front of the line as a roll-over). Your chances of getting one off a dealer's lot for MSRP is...

LOL. Nope. Not even close. It is simple math (likely a bell curve actually). If you would spend less time flaming and more time reading, you may learn something. 22 VIN roll-overs are likely to take up January and potentially February. You then have what-ever Priority 10s the dealer has. At most...

To Ford, the dealers are their customers and you are a no-body. You will get a generic e-mail every 45 days saying "sorry for the unfortunate delay that is the fault of global supply chain" but pretty much nothing else. If you ordered an Ecoboost, there is a very high likelihood of your truck...

I ordered the exact same thing on Oct 1, 2021 and then again this September (XL Hybrid with hitch in Area 51). As for the "sooner rather than later", you unfortunately need to add "never" as an additionial option to that sentence. Since you ordered an XL Hybrid and were not a '22 rollover, your...

You are generally correct in saying "retail prices have not dropped to the same degree.". However, you contradict yourself in your next sentence. Dealers are absolutely selling used vehicles for less (even though they don't want to). Floor plan lenders are forcing them to. For a good percentage...

Yep. Definitely enjoy it. I placed my order on Oct 1, 2021 and never even got a VIN :-( Currently looking at maybe getting a Corolla Hybrid but even those are an 8+ month back-order. If you are interested in selling, definitely try other dealers other than Carvana. They seem to be in a...

Ford has absolutely zero incentive to cancel orders. None. Ford's customer is the dealership and not us poor smucks that put down a deposit at the dealership. They could care less about making us mad. Yet they have a lot of incentives to keep them on the books. Most importantly, the pent-up...

Since it is a Hybrid, you definitely should not lose money. Will you make money is an entirely different question. Your best bet is to run your VIN through Carvana, Zoom, CarMax and any other used car website you can find (there are several regional ones). You can assume that what-ever number...

If the trend over the last 3 months continues, the car sales industry should be much different come next summer when stock dealer orders would theoretically start hitting lots. Most chip related issues should be resolved over the next 6 months (lots of capacity opening up right now). More...

The first thing you need to know is your dealer's expected allocation and the number of hybrids (XL, XLT, and Lariats) that are in front of you. Even though you "pre-ordered" in April, that does not mean you are at the front of the line. The MY22 roll-overs "should" be ahead of you. Your...

Actually, I think there is an easy explanation for this. Originally, Ford had told dealers that they would give 2 weeks notice before closing the order banks. Order banks opened late on the day of the 15th and immediately crashed. Not sure how many orders actually went in that day. Many of the...

No, even after well over a year, I still do not have a VIN. Since I ordered what ended up being a "highly constrained" item (i.e, XL Hybrid which will make up only 5% of all Mavericks built this year), I put my chances of actually getting one at maybe 20% and that is just because I was a...

WOW!!! That car umbrella has to be one of the stupidest things I have ever seen!!! I can only imagine the damage to the car the first time it goes through a Texas summer rainstorm with 50+ MPH winds. I can't count the number of Eazy-ups I have seen absolutely mangled after a brief storm (even...

Ford has no idea. Zero. Zilch. Nada. None. ......... First, they have only a vague idea as to how many and what types of Mavericks will be built next month. If any one of 1000+ parts gets delayed, the entire assembly line can come to a complete stop (this happened many times last year). There...

I have duals on my 97 F350 diesel. I cry every time I go to get fuel. As for the Maverick, I think everyone is missing a primary point as it relates to 1000+ mile range: It allows you to pick where you get fuel. This summer I did a 5000+ mile trip from Texas to Seattle and back in a Ford Focus...

Ford has no incentive to do that right now. They would rather have extra Ecos that go to dealers (the actual customer of Ford) so that the dealer has something on their lot. Dealers have been complaining that they have zero Maverick stock. As long as Ford does not have to provide incentives to...

Your dealership is straight-up lying to you. If they are not getting the rebates, it means they screwed something up on their end and trying to cover it up, or are taking the check as a "bonus" for themselves. Most likely they just don't like waiting (6 weeks or so?) for Ford to send them the...

Unfortunately, I highly doubt you will get what you have in it from the dealer (and that is assuming you only paid MSRP and not over). If it were a bone-stock XL Hybrid then much better chance of getting back a mjority of your $$$. However, not so much with a fully-loaded like you have. If you...

I just looked at their website. 9 Mavericks listed but only this one has a price. I wonder what "Status: Extended Inventory" mean?
