Well, I started a thread a while back -- "Straight from the horse's mouth" and CEO Jim Farley was quoted . . . " We’re still in the teeth of it," Farley said. "I think this year will be very challenging for semiconductor availability. We’re maximizing production in our most profitable vehicles...
Yesterday was one of the most Ironic days. Exactly one month to the day that I was dealing with being at ground zero for hurricane IAN, I get the email from FORD that our Maverick is scheduled for the first build week for the MY23 Maverick. Things have been extremely hectic around here and to be...
Here's the screenshot I asked Tim to post. Get this to your dealer and push them to give the 2022 orders rolled over a priority code 10.
As mentioned previously, my 2022 that was ordered in October of 2021 was the oldest order not scheduled at my dealer. I believe that the new 2023 orders...
Well, I'm not saying I'm lucky as I've waited over a year for this day, but I have been scheduled for week one - - November 21. I haven't seen any others on the Forum (as of yet) with the 11-21 scheduled build week and my VIN number that is in the low XXXXXX00700's reflects the early...
I guess we are all entitled to our opinions, but theories like this should at the least have a source to try and understand where they came from. I think we all have read about Maverick Hybrids being a constraint since day one. Ford's initial ratio was a 40% - 60% Hybrid to EcoBoost prediction...
In addition to many articles out there like the one below published over the past many months, there is plenty of evidence there is and will be big problems producing the Hybrid Maverick until the battery supply problems ease. Ford certainly saw this coming for some time because just a few...
Tim,
This is EXACTLY what I need to forward to my salesman to help get me the Priority Code I deserve.
I hope others that are in my shoes are able to utilize this memo to get a Priority Code 10 assigned to their rolled over order.
"Thank you" really isn't enough.
It sure would be nice if you could post the exact language used in the memo from Ford to Dealers about putting rescheduled orders at Priority 10. The Document number (or a copy) would help too so guys like me that have to get the dealer to do what's right have something to show them.
After...
I extensively went through this with Ford on the phone yesterday for just that reason -- wanted to make sure before I went elsewhere. I was read a document (that Dealers can get on Smart Vincent) that says the "Offer" is with the "name & address" on the 2022 order. You can take it to any dealer...
Thanks Tim,
As you know, the information nightmare out there just increases the pain. I will pass your information on to my salesman, but he'll likely not reply. Wish Ford would put out public documents to stop all this nonsense.
Thanks again!
I emailed my salesman to set up an appointment to reorder . . . . here is his reply.
Once the order banks open on 9-22-22 , we will rebuild the order as a 2023 and send you a new build sheet to sign. There is no need to come in to the dealership.
The 2.0 and 2.3 EcoBoost engines have been built in both the Spain and the Ohio Brook Park (suburb of Cleveland) engine plants for years. The 2.0 EB for the Maverick has been coming from Spain but I can confirm that now some of the Maverick EB engines will be built in the Brook Park plant.
Ben . . . . design is a vision, and your vision is spectacular! IMO, the wheels certainly compliment the design and I feel they give your Mav a Clean yet Futuristic look. I'd have to say I'm most impressed with your bravery.
I will say though the initial side view of your truck seems...
Tim,
Thanks for your commitment . . . I don't think this has been discussed and I think I know the answer so please correct me or confirm for those out there that are a little nervous about COVP. Because only FORD can bump the Priority to 02 (or lower than 10) then if you are told your...
I read on this forum some time back that if Ford issued your Window Sticker that you can make your arrangements to finalize the money part of the sale before the truck is delivered. Anybody here done this?
You can bet if the s is true, I will cut the dealership a check as soon as I get that...
Not to mention these workiñg-from-home folks answering the CS phone calls have a talking point list that give Hybrid callers really old info. The last three times I called I was reminded I will be getting 40 mpg? They don't know that's before the EPA gave Ford the Certification back in October...
And did you pick up the CEO Farley telling Fox the Lightning has 300 Chips?
Based on Mr. Farley's statement a couple of months ago that Ford will "prioritize" orders by "profitablity" you have to wonder if they are using Chips that could be utilized to fill Maverick orders to build those...
