My order is for an XLT with AWD, CP360, 4K Tow and FX4 packages. I just ordered it with that stuff because that was what I wanted, but I don't actually need most of it, and now that I'm considering how much interest I'll have to pay on this thing, I'm wishing I would have instead ordered a...

Received my email today. XLT AWD w/ CP360, FX4 and 4K tow package, scheduled for production week of 12/5, priority 10. I believe mine was the first submitted from my dealer. So this means I'll get my Maverick in January for sure, right? :D

Disregarding the fact that Johnson City Ford has an excellent reputation and nobody here has disputed that, what exactly would the scam be here? That they just keep your $500 even though they told you it's refundable and then never even sell you a Maverick? That doesn't seem like a very...

I've been debating on whether I should get the rear window on the Maverick (I'll be ordering the XLT with 4k, FX4, and CP360). On the one hand it does have some functionality if you want to put long stuff like wood through it, or drive on the highway with the windows down. Also, every pickup...

Obviously you aren't going to get the best lawyer in the country for free. It's still much better than taking advice from random idiots on a truck forum.

Not necessarily. I have a legal plan through my work which covers basic consultations, and even if OP doesn't have a plan like that there are other ways to talk to a lawyer for free. I wouldn't be surprised if you are right that nothing will come of it, because sadly that is often how these...

That's a pretty lame response. Simply not buying another Ford also gets OP nothing, and anyway, OP is doing a public service by telling others not to order or buy from a shady dealer, not merely whining like you're implying. OP may not gain anything personally from this post, but not everything...

I mentioned this towards the beginning of the thread, but what the salesman told me is that they have to take a deposit for the Mavericks specifically because there had been some dealers putting in bogus customer orders just to try to get extra "cancelled" Mavericks for their lot. I wasn't even...

Well we can't really do that yet. As others have pointed out, it's a matter of waiting until the official pricing from Ford actually comes out. The deposit is refundable, though, and I've also researched the dealer and found zero examples of them marking up prices over MSRP or doing really...

No. You can clarify what you said yourself if you think it's so important, otherwise move on.

This is a good point. I actually just called them back to change it to an XLT with 4k, FX4, and CP360. I think I'll be very satisfied with these options, as it will do pretty much everything I want right off the lot. The only extra thing I'll want to add right away is a bedliner, but that is...

No, I wouldn't expect the dealer to hold orders for someone they still needed to talk to before submitting their order, and I never said I did. I specifically asked the salesman in our initial conversation if I'd have to talk to him on order day and he said no, not unless the options I want...

The evidence is that Ford said they changed it, and I see no evidence that they haven't, so I would think it's entirely because of constraints then. The only way to know for sure that I'm wrong would be to find examples of people with the exact same order who did not get their Maverick built...

That isn't necessarily true, at least not if this article I found is to be trusted:

Thanks! Yeah, it is going to be a work truck on weekends for hauling small loads and going on moderately rough terrain (dirt roads and construction sites mostly). It's also going to be my only car for driving to and from town about 15 miles, which in almost any other truck would take a lot more...

I said it was more than I expected, not that it was a lot.

Why are the only two options either to serve every customer that walks in the store immediately or spit in his face? No, I don't think he's going to be refused, I think his order is simply going to be submitted in the order that it was received. So, if 10 people like me went to a particular...

You think a guy who goes into a dealership and demands VIP treatment under threat of loitering would definitely get in before me? I have to say, that seems pretty farfetched to me. Do you have any evidence that this has ever happened even once? Also, I know that the order is not finalized or...

Johnson City Ford. I had looked up the Google reviews prior to contacting them and found nothing that concerned me. It seems they've been mentioned a few times in the forum too, and I don't see anything negative here either. One person actually mentioned them in a thread about "good guy"...

Well, I suppose I should have asked about this here beforehand. I didn't even realize you could order directly online. Aren't there regulations requiring that sales go through local dealers? Alright, so based on what everyone is saying this may have been a very naive move on my part, but it's...
