So, if I receive a build date at the very end of production, say the week of October 17th, 8 weeks previous to that would be August 22nd, after the order banks open for 2023 on August 16th? When do you suppose my dealer or Ford will officially tell me my order can't be built for 22?
Yes, it was an easy decision after the first few minutes of excitement. I politely declined and wished them luck finding another buyer. I guess I don't want a Maverick bad enough to get caught up in all the hysteria and mania surrounding this little truck. I've been car shopping and test...
I know it's not a steal, but what about that same truck for less than 38K? Life is a trip sometimes. I got a call today from a dealership 3 hours away. I have dibs if I want on a customer canceled Cactus Grey AWD 4K FX4 XLT Lux that's being built on 5/26. ADM of 6K over MSRP. I have 24 hours to...
Of course, my dealer having so few allocations doesn't help. I've also been pessimistic about Ford saying my 22 to 23 order will get built before any original 23 orders, including dealer stock. Are Lux packages going to magically not be constrained for 23 production? Seems unlikely as...
Research your dealer and ask questions about their allocation history and how many Mavericks they've sold by the time you order, and how many rollover 22s they might still have on their books.

I wonder what the remedy is for this situation, other than order with another dealer. Tim Bartz kind of addressed this in his last YT video trying to answer a specific question that was on these forums, but he really didn't answer it IMO. Getting rolled to 23 with "priority" doesn't give much...
There are Bronco folks who reserved in 2020, converted those into 2021 orders, got bumped to 22 and are still unfulfilled and probably hoping they don't get bumped to 23. Could play out like that for the Maverick crowd.
I don't know about an official notice from Ford, I'm sure they will send out another generic mass email blast telling people to contact their dealers. Your order is technically with your dealer, not Ford. I would think it unprecedented if Ford just canceled any order they can't build. But it's...
"when the order book reopens in mid-August your current order will be ahead of all those".
I wouldn't bet on that as an absolute. Allocations and constraint items factor into that as well as some of Ford's mysterious ingredients.
Fast forward to getting bumped to MY 23, if that happens. My "place in line" and when my truck gets built is back to being influenced by dealer allocations. If I was penalized as a want-to-be Maverick owner by lack of dealer allocations in 22, how is 23 going to be any different? I've asked my...
