You’re right… too many people are getting wound up rather than just waiting it out. I think both of us are happy to be patient for the $3k savings!

It’s unlikely there are any significant product changes for the second year, given Maverick‘s popularity in its current form, so it‘s possible the model year changeover shutdown would be no more than 1-2 weeks. 22 MY production could stretch into the second week of October.

Agreed. Ford constantly adjusts allocations, and retail orders have priority. All the 22MY retail orders will be built, if they have capacity (presume they do since they cut off new orders when reaching capacity) and parts (this remains a wild card, but so far Mavericks are being built per...

Excellent information for those wanting to convert their Maverick to a Fire Truck or cut-a-way chassis cab RV…. !!!

The main point was “walk away”….

Absolute classic scumbag dealer moves: - ADMs - Worthless add ons - Captive finance BS If they won’t budge on this: - Walk away and order a 2023 from Granger in August - Send a hard copy showing ADMs to Mark Levine at Ford - Identify the dealer here so we can protect other members from being...

I guess the moral of the story is to double check all order paperwork, especially dealer prepared orders.

Maverick is currently being built at planned capacity, around 7k per month. Of course there is still time for something to go wrong before 22MY close out, but so far so good. The main concern at the moment appears to be a production mix biased toward Ecoboost models, we’ll have to see if that...

Yes, there are plenty of downstream transport company issues. Very sorry to hear yours is stuck in transit. But they are still being built and shipped from the factory in volume.

Production planning is done well in advance, including the supply chain. In this case, the plan was set and suppliers contracted for the required volume (the planned capacity). Production continues according to plan, even though an unexpected sell out occurred (which is due to a botched...

Some are (maybe including yours), but close to 7k units per month are being built and shipped.

Ford never planned to build 150k units in the first place. More like 80k, and at 7k per month, seems pretty close to plan. The 22MY Maverick is sold out, so naturally it will take the remainder of the model year to build them. Ford’s biggest problem was grossly underestimating the demand in...

Who says they can’t? Hermosillo is building Mavericks at near capacity rates now.

But NOT Hermosillo. Mavericks are being built at a near capacity rate.

The allocation system is designed for normal times (mainly stock sales) so it’s an annoyance when the bulk of orders are retail. But Ford constantly changes allocations and always prioritizes retail orders. Since Maverick is a sellout case, allocations will be changed to more or less conform to...

I remain cautiously optimistic on 22MY deliveries… The Hermosillo plant (C2 vehicles Mav/BS) was not one of the ones shut down for shortages, and it continues to operate at near capacity. Every variation is being built, although there appears to be a production mix bias toward EB over hybrid...

Sounds like dealer tricks again… For the benefit of your friends here, please identify the Dealer Name so others can avoid a similar fate.

Wrong. By spreading the word here and elsewhere about this dealer’s bad practices you can not only help others avoid being scammed, but also help dent their sales volume until Gary Yeoman Ford gets the message that scamming customers is bad for business.

This entire thread can be summed up as follows: Bozard Ford Great dealer, came through for a customer in distress, no ADMs. Gary Yeoman Ford Absolute scumbags. Stole the vehicle out from a customer with a firm order, lied to the customer about it, immediately sold with ADM to someone else...

Hermosillo (Bronco Sport / Maverick) appears to not be impacted in this latest slowdown.
