Annnnnndddd it's gone. I was looking at that one as well this morning, book marked it and it's gone now. Incidentally, I was looking at Mullinax in Mobile (since it is closer) and the link took me to Apopka. Strange that one dealer would link to another even if it is the same "family".
This is what I don't understand. I have no idea how it works but if they have a limited number of allocations why on earth would they take 300 orders? I know my dealer has delivered 12 or 13 Mavs out of the 300 ordered. I do not know their allocation number. I am pretty sure I am near the bottom...
I wanted one this year because my wife's car will be paid off in 2 months. The longer it takes the Mav to get to me, I will just use her payment for a bigger down payment.
The biggest reason I need something new is because my 2000 Ford Ranger is about wore out. It gets me where I need to go but...
51. I am a Lab Chemist at a paper mill. Been there 18 years and plan to retire there. Good benefits, good retirement with 401k and pension and it's a union job.
I have also heard this is a good place to check out financing but I haven't looked into it yet.

Might be better than what FMC offers.
I'll admit it has been a while since I talked to them about and things have probably changed. But based on my past experience with them they have beaten the dealer every time.
It's actually a pretty easy process but time consuming. Whoever is in charge of production has some special equipment (below) in choosing which orders go into production. They normally do this on Wed morning a day before emails are sent out.
Here is what they use, and then add up the numbers to...
Interesting, I forgot I added a driver's side tool box to my order. Definitely not needed, just wanted. Haven't heard anything from my dealer about it. I may never see it anyway since my dealer has 300 orders and have only delivered 12.
Definitely worth looking into because sometimes when you waltz in there with a credit union number they will try to beat it. More than likely I will play this card. I won't mention the credit union and see what they have to offer. Then I'll say "no thanks, I'll use this unless you can beat it"...
I didn't think I would get an email today because I checked this morning with Ford Chat, still just a confirmation.
After @mlshirey reported he was order 13 out of 300 chances are I will be waiting a while (I don't know their allocation, I ordered mine from the same dealer as him but XLT...
Good to know that, I never even thought to check and see how many they had ordered. 300?!? That means I am near the bottom since I didn't order until 1/25/22 (same dealer as you). Oh well. I will continue to wait even if it does turn into a MY23. Since mine is Ecoboost maybe it will still make...
My first 4 door truck arrived on Valentine's Day! I ordered Oxford White and ended up with BROWN.
I don't know how well it handles on the road, I haven't had a chance yet to give it a test drive. Hopefully it is as dependable as my 2000 Ranger.
This will have to do for now until my...
