This thread should be called: "How Ford prevented anyone from wanting its most desirable product..."

If you can find something you are happy with for $11K minus taxes, sell it, buy the beater, and place an order for a 2024 in a few months. Maybe you can make $11K next year also. If sellers remorse sets in, you might get a 2024. Keep banking the $400 a month either way.

It was just a $300 refundable deposit...

Got my "Keep Waiting" email from Ford today. Yes, mine come out of Sync with everyone else. I've passed into thinking its funny now...

It's strange how cars can have all the right dimensions and yet be uncomfortable. The Mav has essentially the same Leg/Head/Shoulder room as my Forester but somehow it just doesn't work for me. I never found a Mav to test before I ordered and when I did I was uncomfortable. Saving my...

Yes. Great down payment on a F-150.

I'm keeping my order even though I decided the Mav isn't for me after all. If it actually gets built for 2023, I am going to either: 1. Take it for a test drive down to the Carmax about two miles from the dealer and get a quote, buy it and sell it the same day, and put the profit in my kids...

If you haven't actually had the experience of driving a Mav, don't get too excited about getting rid of that Subaru yet. I drive a 2014 Forester and happened upon an unlocked Maverick on a dealer lot the other day. It was very small inside compared to the Forester. The specified dimensions...

So they bred the cattle in the cargo area of a Forester? I know they are spacious, but....

I have seriously considered dropping all my options, but I need 4K and really want the Lux and FX4. The SIBL was about to go until Ford said it was under ordered and gave us a discount. The rear window and spare tire could go, but I don't think they are constrained at all.

My over 30 years driving in the Rural Mid-Atlantic area, I have never had fog lights help much. Even when it is foggy, they just seem to make the fog brighter. Driving lights on the other hand.... If someone can convince Ford to build my truck soon, I will gladly develop and offer at least...

Without separate allocations for Hybrid and EB, I don't see how it matters.

It seems that all dealers who are willing to disclose anything claim they were given less allocations than their 2023 orders. It also seems that Ford received total Mav orders approximately equal to the number built last year. So, either there are quiet dealers out there with more allocations...

They have some idea, maybe +/- 10 or 20% what they will have. Even LM says they have more orders than allocations.

Priority codes will only put you ahead or behind a very similar order at the same dealer. Say Ford decides to build XLT Lux AWDs with CP360 this week and your dealer has two orders for those but only one allocation. If one order is a lower priority, it will get chosen over the other. Supposedly.

Exactly. Just trying to figure out if I need to order another Forester soon.

Is there any explanation to the seemingly random assignments of allocations? If a huge dealer like LM has had say 60-80 Mavs scheduled per month, then even my local family dealership should have had one, right? Why would a dealer have nothing scheduled for three months and then get multiple in...

I appreciate the hard work you put into this, but I have to keep reminding myself that Dealer and Regional allocations throw a wrench into all of this. If you don't have an allocation, it wont get built regardless of configuration. The allocation thing also seems to be somewhat off from what...

I asked my dealer for an update yesterday and they indicated they haven't had ANY scheduled for 23 yet. Either Ford is mad at them or the whole allocation this is Phooey..

Looks great. Same color I have on order. Are these the Eibach springs or is there another option? How is the ride vs stock?
