Plan to take my maverick off road on some forest service roads in BC in the spring/fall.
I'm not even sure what the factory tires will be (Lariat - fx4/luxury package/tow package), but I'm guessing they won't be great.
Any recommendations on upgrades and/or where to get them?
I ordered mine in Canada on March 16th. It was built on May 24th. Shipped shortly after and expected to arrive the first week of July. Canada has definitely kept 2022 orders open later than the USA and seems to get build priority to some degree (could be dealer allocation).
AWD fully loaded...
Update here as my production started this past week:
March 16: Ordered
May 4: In Production
May 10: Can view sticker (May have been available earlier but not before May 4 - confirmed under MSRP price agreement)
Pretty happy with the timeline so far.
Try calling Ford Canada. I ordered a similar build (lariat lux, off toad, trailer packages) on March 15 and had a VIN this week with build date scheduled for May 2nd. Some folks waiting since last yeat won't like it, but specific dealer allocation seems to matter to a degree. Calling to get...
Hopefully the dealer has some good news for you, let us know what they come back with.
I should mention I phoned ford Canada yesterday asking about my order number. The next day (today), I have an order, VIN, and build date and a stressed salesman (not my intention to stress him).
The lady...
Ya really. I think alot can change with that amount of time in between and we probably spoke to different sales people at different stages of their experience/month end/motivation/knowledge etc.
Interesting how the price increased since July but by now discounting MSRP their bottom line is...
Can confirm three weeks ago Langley went under msrp with no doc fee. All other lower mainland dealerships quoted MSRP plus a doc fee around $500. Kelowna beat Langleys offer by a bit. I didn't have a single dealership quote over MSRP in BC.
My understanding is it has to do with dealer allocation and that this dealer was allocated additional build spots because of volume they move. Buy who knows.
Sounds like we will ultimately have the same truck. Do you have a build date from the January order?
Received the VIN and order number today from the dealer. Exacrly two weeks after placing the order. He says I have a build date of May 2nd.
He expressed some stress about promising delivery times these days, so only time will tell if I receive it before August 31. But that's a pretty good...
Thanks, and I get that. I'll be in the Okanagan all summer anyway. That's the only reason I considered it. If it goes past August 31 as promised, I may pull out. The dealer was pretty insistent that we should have and I'm hoping it works out.
Update from OP -
Put my order in yesterday with Kelowna Ford. They received additional build slots (or so they say) and went under MSRP promising delivery on or before August 31, 2022.
I ordered a Lariot with Luxury package, Tow package, and off road package. Negotiated throw in splash guards...

Ray was a car sales manager for 40 years. In one of his videos he talks about this exact situation where one of his salesman sold a car that another customer had factory ordered, with a deposit.
Ultimately, the customer sued and was awarded a...
I understand these are tough to even get. Anyone negotiating the price down? If so what percentage off MSRP were you able to get? Maybe you paid more than MSRP? Trying to strategize my negotiation as I'm in no rush to get one but leaning towards an order.
Looking to order a Lariat, tow...
