At least we can share experiences like this and offer each other a small amount of warning to steer clear of shady half wit dealers.
If I hadnāt found Long MacArthur I wouldnāt be buying a ford. I was ready to buy a RAV4 hybrid and a small trailer for the few times I need to haul lawnmowers...
Last month Bill said heād zero luck getting the dealer to have him moved up to a 2, which requires a phone call by his dealer or sales manager to regional ford corporate. Dealer told him he couldnāt. Plainly wrong info. Dealer also told him they had 10 allocations and 10 orders. Also...
Bill this really stinks. There will be clean-up scheduling so there is still hope but since your dealer said they had allocations to cover their orders it seemed that your day had come.
Watching this process over the past year has become a hobby. I donāt know what Iām going to do when it gets delivered and I donāt have monthly installments of constraint reports and scheduling stats.
After this scheduling day the order process for a mav is going to be basically the same as...
Itās interesting that the VINs arenāt sequencing according to build week. Iād love to see the decision making by fords computers during scheduling blitzās like this.

Iām expecting reports of serious rust in 5-10 years on these trucks. Lots of nooks and crannies make it unlikely that even the most diligent owner can wash out the salt well enough. Typically owners wonāt care because theyāll trade or lease something else by then.
My plan is to do my...
Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!
Thank you to everyone past and present who are part of our armed forces for your service. Iām grateful for so much⦠freedom, a place to live comfortably, abundance of food & friends, and think about itā¦. When we can complain that a new truck we...
Yea the last of the 23ās are coming in. That Alto blue is beautiful but most of them are XLTs or Lariates and I donāt want to pay $2000 for what amounts to a wheel package. Plus getting the last of a model year run, itās a year old in one month. ā24s are arriving now and most of the...
Fluidfilm. One application everywhere then spot check every couple years. You can buy spray cans and an extension hose with a fan spray tip. Make sure you shake the can really well and itās room temperature before spraying. The Mav has a ton of nooks and crannies and despite the body being...
Scratches off the paint exposing bare steel. Prevents good cleaning of the crap that definitely will accumulate between the liner and bed. It will rust depending on where in the world the truck lives.
The team at that decided to mandate drop in bed liners for the lariat and lux packages...
First reaction is nausea. Then thoughts of anger, head shaking, and sadness for an unsuspecting person seeking a reasonably priced vehicle that wanders near this stealership.
Long McArthur has new ā23 mavericks for sale on their lot below ā24 sticker prices -and they deliver.
Obviously...
If your order stays a 3, it likely wonāt be scheduled until after all the rollovers at your dealership have been. @fordvideoguy may know the right person or job title for your dealer to contact whether itās their dealer rep or regional rep. Heās gone thru the process of moving an order to a...
Bill have you checked with your dealer that you have a priority code 2?
If so itās really likely you will see your XL scheduled on the next round (11/30).
If you donāt itās time to get into the weeds with your dealer to figure out why. Being frustrated is completely understandable but...
Funny thing. Iām kind of in the same boat. I bought an F150 last spring with the intention of trading in when the maverick came in. The F-150 is more truck than I need but I love it and may be a two truck person when the mav gets built.
The longer they take to schedule me the better. If I...
Color choice is totally your business. I have one on order. I flip-flopped between this and terrain, theyāre the only two colors I like since Alto blue is out.
Iāve seen one in person a couple times and itās a good color (my opinion). To me it does have a blue/green tint to it- which...
