I think he was just late for his lesson...

I don't have my Maverick yet, but from my experience with an Escape, that looks like the cap for the transmission. I believe it's vented, so some oil mist escaping is probably expected, but I don't know how much is considered normal.

I couldn't tell you how many times I parked way in the back, only to come out and see someone parked right next to me.

Other posts have reported battery issues and there has been speculation about a batch of bad batteries. I would assume the dealer did a thorough load test of the battery, but the incompetence can be surprising at some dealers.

I too got the same letter today at 5:02 PM. My order was on 9/16/2022 for an XLT EB, 4k, FX4.

There is another option other than the TS Rails and the retractable covers with rails. That's the Diamondback cover and you can mount rails directly to the top of it. The Diamondback does have a premium price, but I think it's worth it.

I think it's likely that Ford would like to be able to sell direct to customers, but the dealers have it locked up in laws in most states. This is a case where the consumer should be able to decide if purchasing through a dealer has added value or not and make their own decision on how to buy...

I went with the XLT for a few reasons like FX4, Keyless-Entry Keypad, power lock on the tailgate. The improved chances of getting it vs an XL in the next 12 months is also a bonus.

I ordered a '23 without driving one. I sat in a '22 but wasn't allowed to drive it because it was sold. I requested from 2 dealers that they call me when one comes in that I can drive, but it never happened.

It will be my first truck but not my first Ford. As a current owner of 2 Fords, I was considering getting something non-Ford, but the Maverick came out and matched what I need. I just hope I actually get it.

Been there - Done that... I will miss AM if it's dropped from the Maverick that I may get some day. News, sports, traffic, weather on AM. I also wonder what's next. Ford's cost reduction team must be working OT.

I won't be happy either if this turns out to be true. In any case I will want a 2nd fob and hopefully some 3rd party site will have some options.

Congratulations, I'm new here also, but I'll be waiting for months for my XLT. Enjoy driving yours.

I went with Area 51. It's one of my favorites and my wife also picked it without any prompting, so that made it final.

Like many others, the Maverick just checks most of the boxes for what I need. It has just enough hauling and towing capability while still being efficient. It's not too big and will fit in my garage along with other things I want in the garage. The price is right, and the compromises are...

That really sucks. Hold the dealer to their promise. Maybe they'll be able to place a stock order at some point and build it to your specs.

I hope so too. Best of luck to all of us, I think we'll need it.

I've finally joined after lurking since the beginning. I live in SE Michigan and work for a tier 1 auto supplier. Initially (last year) I was hoping to time an order to get a '23 this fall, but gave up on that idea as the ordering and delivery drama played out. So I placed an order on Sept...
