Not sure that California is much different from here in Ontario Canada but putting down sizeable deposits on new home (or Condo) builds is the norm here and you definitely don't get any guarantee on closing date. There are so many clauses in favour of the builder that virtually anything absolves...
Be aware, all you did is do a preorder with your dealer, not an order with Ford. Big difference, the order bank for Maverick currently does not open until mid September. If he is an honest dealer he should have told you that and will be inputting any pre-orders he has in the order he got them at...

Wish we had an equivalent to @fordvideoguy here in Canada. Any dealer here says they have not heard about MY23 order date as yet. When I tell them it is Aug 2nd in the US they shrug and say who knows...
