Dealer markup creates a real quandary. I understand some buyers ordered the Maverick, as the vehicle they were driving was on its last legs. I have read on these boards that some buyers had to move to another vehicle due to the delays, and that is understandable based on their situation. I...

Perspective, not prospective. Constraints, constraints, constraints.

Dam, dude, if it bothers you that much, just go buy a Hybrid off the lot and get on with your life.

Not true. Ford intended to produce 40 Hybrids for every 60 EcoBoost, so for of every 100 Mavericks produced 40 were to be Hybrid. Ford was not prepared for the level of interest in the Hybrid, hence the 40%. I believe the demand for the Hybrids exceeds the 40% of production, but have no idea...

Google is your friend: Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price

The AG’s advisory addresses these concerns by reminding auto dealers of their legal obligations to consumers, including: 1. Dealerships can’t refuse to sell a vehicle for the price advertised. Agree with this statement. Taken in context, in 2005-2006 I worked for Dodge. It was notorious back...

So you ordered in August. You are way down the waiting line for your FE. I ordered in mid June. From where I am standing in line, I can't even see you. And, by the way, what you ordered means a lot as to when your vehicle will get built. Commodity constraints, raw material shortages, COVID...

Is your comment based on fact, or an assumption? Ford is cutting off Maverick Hybrid orders 15 November, as orders will have reached capacity for MY22. It is obvious that Ford did not anticipate the Hybrid being so popular, based on the initial production percentages being 65/35 Ecoboost to...

You should be fine with ordering, and receiving , a 2022 First Edition Maverick. Ford has stated publicly on multiple forums that the 2022 First Edition HYBRID reservations are ALMOST filled for MY22, and will close sometime in November. At that time, if you try to order a First Edition...

The "disappointment of disgruntled workers" is manifested by the fact they refuse to accept work for less than fair wages. Check the article below, because what the article does NOT say is that this employer offers $10 an hour as starting pay. Is that a "fair" wage...

Union wages are NOT cut 25%. Workers are being paid 75% of wages while the plant is closed. Huge difference in your spin. I have linked the article for you. Link to the article...

As has been stated a thousand times on these boards, your order date has NO bearing on when your truck will be built. Trucks are selected for build based on availability of components for specific configurations and packages. How hard is it to conduct two minutes of research before cluttering...

Thanks Tim. I haven't seen any Rapid Red or First Edition scheduled for this cycle.

Date ordered has little to no impact. As has been stated many times, builds are based on commodity availability for specific configurations, as well as dealer allocations.

Is that the Cancun Cruz'er?

Just saw this: Ford says the 2022 Maverick Hybrid remains on track (msn.com) Muddies the waters a bit. Ford had stated earlier that only Ecoboost Maverick were begin built for STOCK orders (dealer floor plans), and all Hybrid orders were for RETAIL.

I ordered the Maverick because it fits my wants / needs. I also have 2 reliable autos, so I was never hoping to have a new car before my current car dies (as some others on this post iterated). I can, and will, wait out the supply chain issues. Drove by the local Chevrolet dealer Saturday...

The reveal commercial is dated June 8, 2021. there is exactly ONE Maverick being driven around in that commercial. Prior to that, computer renderings of what the truck should/could look like were all over the Internet. THAT created the enthusiasm for a vehicle that had not been built yet...

Haven't had that problem, and I live in Kansas. I own a 2015 Explorer sport, Ruby Red Metallic, that spend a majority of its life outside. (make room in the garage when hail storms are forecast). To keep the paint looking fresh, I clay bar the truck, and then apply two coats of wax to...

I believe Tim Bartz at long McArthur Ford mentioned on one his Youtube "Tech Tuesday" broadcasts that early Mavericks were intended to be for dealer stock, to allow potential customers an opportunity to test drive the truck before ordering. Ford did not anticipate such a large volume of...
