Looks like you and are are in the same batch. I experienced the same exact date shift and remain clueless about the changing "week of" date. My schedule date was originally 6/26 then 6/29 and now 6/30 (all dates within the same week makes no sense). At this point I've given up on understanding...
I just realized you are in the Lehigh Valley. Me too! Unless Ford shakes things up, if you order from Nazareth Ford I can almost guarantee you won't get your order before February 2024 based on the last 2 years. Also, whenever it is built it will take at least a month to ship to our area. So it...
As long as you aren't putting down a non-refundable deposit there are no consequence from ordering a Maverick and walking away later. I ordered my MY23 Maverick knowing I wouldn't be ready for 6 months and it wasn't built until month 9. You can't predict when it will show but the odds are high...
Mine just went into production too and has no window sticker. I'm pleased when I see the tracker change but other don't trust the tracker to be reliable or predictable.
I don't have my Maverick yet, and from the reports so far this likely won't solve everything mentioned but has anyone who ran these tests confirmed doing so with high grade 3.0 USB stick? The data read/transfer on cheap USB 2.0 sticks are terrible and could be a factor. Just curious if anyone...
Ford did not give any usable warnings about Hybrids prior to the Sept 2022 order backs. Ford didn't have a clue what an overwhelming demand for Hybrids they would get until after they closed the order banks. So the idea that Ford, much less any dealers, were informed enough to give any...
Cultural standards aside, no, writing in all caps to be more readable is not a thing. YOU might have learned to be ok with it, and your corporate overlords might demand it, but that doesn't make it better. The science of typography has plenty to say about that topic.
If anyone is forcing you to...
You might be right. Though I think both are broken buying experiences. Hopefully both processes will give way to a third option worthy of an incredibly expensive customer buying experience.
I think there is a difference between paying a dealership for a car that even the dealership doesn't have ownership of yet (which I imagine is what Rick considers crazy) vs. paying a dealership for a car that it actually owns and physically has in stock and then proceeding to pay to ship it the...
As already said there are alot of factors but the biggest "predictable" timing factor is your dealer's allotment. Every month a formula is used to determine how many mavericks Ford will build for your dealership. A big component of that formula for how many they get this month is how many...
Mine was scheduled as of 4/13 to be built on 6/26. I don't receive email updates from Ford. I have to call my dealer for details. I acquired my VIN from the dealer so I could use the tracker on my own. The tracker has NEVER shown my build date in the tracker. But I have verified with the...
It might not go anywhere but it's interesting that the death of AM radio might not be strictly left up to car manufacturers.

To be honest I don't know that any of us have much leverage.
If your dealer did COV (Customer Order Verification) then you have leverage (to complain) if your truck comes in an they try to sell it to any one else. Ie. you have leverage to call Ford directly and report the dealer as shady but no...
I would first ask them why they add it on 100% of their vehicles. Seriously what is the logic? Tell them the entire Maverick Truck Club would like to know.
If not state mandated, necessary for insurance, or part of the company's safety manifesto they owe you an answer as to why the installation...
To be honest I fully expect my Maverick to take a month to be delivered when the time comes. There are exceptions but it seems pretty typical.
When I put my 1st order in last September the sales rep shared that their current customer had been waiting 2 months for their delivery to arrive...
I would ask the dealer for more specifics about how many Maverick orders they put in, where you were in that line, and how many allocations they received. The fact that not all orders would be fulfilled has been publicly known since Sept. 2022. That explanation doesn't explain why YOU won't...
I was so surprised I failed to ask on the phone. I'm waiting for the rep to get back with me on the VIN so I can review it myself. (I don't expect a quick response...) But I'm guessing its not the new high VIN number. I see the VIN tracker has a 62,5XX scheduled for 6/30 which is later than my...
