correct, I’m affirming orders aren’t the problem with explorer either. This is a wide spread issue throughout ford.

The chip shortage is only part of the problem. There are shortages of multiple trim items as well. The explorer factory production is laid off for two weeks, not because of lack of orders but because they have run out of room to park vehicles that are built but awaiting miscellaneous parts in...

FYI ford sells around 1M f150 a year. Maverick will be 10% at best

I didn’t say that’s what was ordered. The guy asked how many ford planned to build. That’s the answer.

Couple of months to a year, maybe longer.

Auto news reported 110k per year maverick last summer, based upon supplier orders direct from ford here’s a link where you don’t need to be a member. https://www.outsideonline.com/outdoor-gear/cars-trucks/2022-ford-maverick/

Probably waiting for a full size spare tire so they can ship.

Yeah well they can’t have a contract for every mini spare since they don’t know how many they need so it’s all speculation on both sides. I just find it humorous that a tire would be on constraint when it’s simply an exchange. Hell, if it’s that important ford could just build it without the...

No one understands the proprietary allocation process. Maybe not even ford. The first rule of the allocation process, is not talking about the allocation process. Pure speculation on my part, but yeah I personally don’t believe they will have enough

Add the horrible allocation process in as well. Might not get a 22 at all. Ford: yeah ummmm….. Roll the dice

Without the full size spare you still get a spare though. 🤷‍♂️

OPEC comes to mind!

Seems like an odd constraint is what I mean.

The explorer has stereo screen shortages and brake controller shortages. But they are running 3 production shifts 11 hours a day and working off Sundays and Saturdays.

Full size spare? 🤔

I think it just needs the 1” front lift to level the truck. I saw someone Who did just that on here and it looks great and it’s useful

That’s when you finance and then call ford credit for the payoff a week later. Unscrupulous dealers like to tell customers you have to wait three months to pay off your loan. That’s just not true, at three months they get their kick back but you can pay off whenever as it’s a simple interest...

They have the capacity to build over 20k units a month at that plant if they have parts easily. If they mix it, parts dependent, they could easily build 14k maverick a month out of the 20k+ production That’s 84k maverick in six months. That would put a dent in orders I’m guessing. All parts...

It doesn’t

Meh, they can adjust the mix if they have the parts. The maverick doesn’t weigh substantially more so the overhead conveyors can handle them. They will likely start building 2/3 maverick if they can all summer. The bronco sport was a big deal at first but it sure has not sustained the initial...
