That would explain why Ford is so quiet about numbers ordered. I figured it was to keep the competition in the dark about how popular this thing is, but it could also be to save face about how few actually got ordered. (And to save some face that they can't even build that number of them...

23? Mighty optimistic. There's a Christmas every year and he didn't specify.

New Lincoln SUV to a Maverick? How bad was the divorce? Or more accurately, how bad was your lawyer?

Sometimes the wait just isn't worth it. There is an opportunity cost to waiting. Assuming this person can't afford to just buy a truck on a whim, the resources they are either holding onto now or planning to spend later could maybe be used better. Also, seems like @KyleFF is annoyed with how...

Seems to me, a lot of us disgruntled wanna-be customers overlooked perhaps the most important factor in getting scheduled, which is making sure your dealer didn't stuff the regional scheduler in their locker back in high school.

None. I know my local small-town dealership has received at least two but they disappeared into the countryside.

Sounds like the voice of experience.

I think you are missing the point. People are upset at @Ford Motor Company BECAUSE they operate on a "best case scenario" model and seem to have no backup plan for when things break. Ford "maximized profits" with lean manufacturing and got so used to it they, along with the industry, got caught...

I've managed to save enough for the down payment that I can just pay people to do the projects I was going to use the truck to do myself, and rent a truck to move the things I was going to move. I'm probably just going to do that. No one loses; the dealership gets a truck to mark up with a...

Which Christmas?

Thanks for the answer, I'm not meaning to be hostile to you with the next bit. Ford has repeatedly quoted the best case scenarios as what will definitely happen, so I'm afraid a rep saying they'll "get it done IF" doesn't carry much weight anymore. I want to know what happens "IF" doesn't happen.

I think the word "purchasing" is a little ambitious, but it's possibly going to be my first hybrid assuming it ever gets made.

Is that "'22s pushed to '23s getting priority" in writing anywhere?

Maybe Ford is saving my life by not scheduling my truck.

I have a feeling some on this forum would have paid that much to guarantee delivery within 60 days.

Ford can't deliver the value of the Maverick, either. The other manufacturers have to have taken note of the demand for the Maverick, and have to be pondering bringing back their small truck lines with current tech. Just sucks it probably will be the 24 or 25 model year before they get...

No way to know. I wouldn't doubt Ford oversold both models, given that they have consistently pushed out overly optimistic "best case" scenarios as their statements on what would actually happen, and have routinely walk back expectations they have set.

We can't really answer that since Ford is keeping order numbers secret, and the membership of this forum is pretty small compared even to the number of Mavericks built so far. All we can reliably say is Ford planned to build 40% of all Mavs as hybrids, 60 % of all as Ecoboosts, and has so far...

Good for Ford, but doesn't help me much unless they dramatically raise the dividends on my shares. But, mainly, I want the truck they said they'd make for me. They'll get to me or they won't. But...Ford's handling of this and the last couple rollouts has sucked hard.

My stance on this has been if Ford can't get me a truck in 22, I have no reason to believe they'll feel the need to get me one in 23, after allocations have reset. So, I'm out if they try to roll me over and wait for the competition to come up with something. I know other manufacturers are short...
