It would be naïve to think that Ford does not take how much profit they will be making on each vehicle that is ordered and will prioritise the orders which make them more money. The higher margin luxury package might be constrained but when they have the parts to make one it would make sense...

I have not been following the stock but one question in my mind is how they are planning to split off the electric car version of Ford into a seperate company. Any idea how that will affect owners of the current Ford stock?

The RIP in the title may be premature. Even if the insurance company totals them they will likely be cleaned up and fixed(more or less, probably less) and resold with a salvage title and there are apparently ways to move cars between states to get a salvaged title cleaned up. Be very careful...

The problem with their story is that you never got an email notice that your order had been entered, and it sounds like you also called Ford and they did not have it. Even if it had been cancelled for some reason it should have been in the computer system with a cancelled status. Most(but not...

Here is a post with what I figured out and there are a few more steps that are good to do. Hopefully I got it right. https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/post-order-checklist.20832/

That was sort of my logic when I entered a second order for an ECO XLT Lux after realizing that the preorder I had set up in July for a Hybrid XL was unlikely to be filled. Time will tell if that was right or not. Please post to let us know if your dealer was able to make the change. You...

"I panicked and ordered multiple, but will only pick up one for myself." But it was not really a panic but rational choice. In July I had a preorder set up for an XL hybrid when the order book was going to open in August. By the time the order book was open in mid September it was known...

Dang, I thought this was going to be about a kit to easily cover up of the orange eyesores in the XLT interior.

The biggest constraint is that it sounds like about 80% of the order were for hybrids but they will only be able to make about 35% of the 2023s as hybrids because of shortages. They are also only planning on making 15% of the Mavericks as the XL model. It is not impossible but if you ordered a...

The Maverick is in the same general price range as the Corolla is and no one calls the Corolla a loss leader. If Ford is not making much money on the Maverick it could be largely because of how much they are spending on recalls and warranty work. That will likely be a lot lower for a company...

Sounds like a reasonable ballpark. If Ford can make 90,000 Mavericks for the US market and there are about 3,000 US ford dealerships then that is 30 per dealership on average. Of course there will be tiny rural dealerships that get a lot less and huge mega dealers that get a lot more. The...

And there is a reasonable chance that you will not even get the hybrid as a 2023.

I would wait until you actually have your 2022 to do anything. Occasionally trucks will get damaged in shipping or just get lost or who knows what else could happen.

I agree. To even call it an actual color seems to be a bit of a stretch to me. It seems to be another shade of gray with a bit of a tint to it. Paint chipping seems to be a potential problem on the Maverick and I would also think that a non-metallic paint would tend to show chips a lot...

If worrying about when or if you will get a new truck is your biggest worry in the world then you are a very fortunate person so keep that in mind. The XL Hybrid is a very popular choice that will be hard to get because Ford has said that they only plan on making 15% of the Mavericks as XLs and...

A couple of things that may not have been mentioned. 1) A printed list of important phone numbers. If your phone is lost or broken and you need to use someone elses phone that might come in handy. 2) $20 in cash in small bills. I have left my wallet at home and that can come in handy. 3) A...

Trivia: When researching a different car I found out that one of the major reasons that a moon roof will leak is that there are small drain holes that the water goes in then through a tube that goes down the pillar of the car. When those get clogged the water will tend to sit on the roof and...

My dealership was able to change my order from silver to Atlas Blue today. They were not able to do that when I originally placed the order for the XL which is why it was silver. Maybe your dealership is getting it confused with Alto Blue.

Before you get to excited be sure to check to see if it under the airbag recall. If it is then they cannot let you have it until they get the parts and do the recall which could be a long time.

Ordering Copilot 360 on XL also gets you power mirrors. It also gets you a full size temporary spare tire if you do not already have that because of some other option.
