I mean really.. why not just do that every year for as long as you can? You aren't obligated to buy the Maverick (especially if you have no or a refundable deposit). So order a new one. If you can sell the old and more than cover the cost, then sell and buy the new. If the used market tanks...

Seems like a number of folks have never been in a hurricane. Yeah - drive out of the state. You and 2 million other people. The roads are at a standstill. Gas stations run out of gas. No hotels to be found. You either leave the state a week before - which costs a lot of money, hunker down, or...

Mine is scheduled too!!

At this point we need to rent an excavator to set the bar for Ford.

It looks like you'd have to drill out all the welds to the bed, then either drill out the rear rail or cut and scab a new on in. Wouldn't be super bad IF you had the parts. Personally I'd get it pulled and scab in a similar thickness steel panel where it's kinked and call it a day...

For those that have older cars that are now rusted to bits... did you frequently wash the undercarriage, or take it to a car wash in the winter?

Did you do any under carriage flushes during the winter?

I fully expected the hybrid to be more expensive than the EB. If that was the case, I was going to go with the EB.

Yes - cars can rust if you do absolutely nothing to take care of them. I'd be more curious to see what one looks like that was washed occasionally.

I said this a few days ago and someone acted like I was making it up. Dealer was told by the rep that not only were they getting minimal allocations, they were also limited by trims and options. So even if you had 10 allocations, you weren't getting multiple of the same trims and options.

That really sucks. If Ford told me the hybrid wasn't going to be built, and I could get an EB instead - I would do so if AWD was an option. In fact, Ford should make that a free option IF you ordered a hybrid and they aren't going to build it.

Even at 30 orders per 3000 ford dealers is 90K - not hard to imagine considering several folks here have stated their dealers have hundreds of orders being put in.

I can appreciate the optimism that Ford is shutting down orders quickly so they can build everything. I believe that they have already maxed out orders. You only need to average 30 orders per dealer - with 3K dealers - that's closing in on 100K orders.

Same. I got an email with order confirmed. Just finished with Ford chat and they said it was "order processing" I asked and they said this "Order processing is the same thing as Order confirmed. The order is in our system so we are just waiting on Manufacturing and Scheduling to set-up next...

My dealer said the same thing really - they did the COVP when they ordered. I messaged back and asked to clarify between COVP and ROVP. Haven't heard back from him, but will post if/when I do.

That's what's confusing - Ford says the COVP isn't required, but the ROVP is. So if a dealer has submitted the COVP, is it all good, or does the dealer need to do something else in the system to make it ROVP instead?

As the person below mentioned - it is only a fleet option. Not sure why fleets can get it, but not us normal folks, but Ford is gonna Ford.

My dealer just mentioned that not only is Ford limiting allocations - but they are also limiting specific options per dealership. For example: Dealer A has 5 XLT Hybirds with Lux, only one of those would be built.

:sneaky:

I have to wonder if it's better to have an order in at a smaller dealer that got all of their 22 orders built - or be one of 650 at a place that had 80-100 22s that never got built. Just a genuine thinking out loud.
