According to Tim at Long McArthur they have 221 unscheduled Mavericks right now (split about evenly between hybrid and EB). Ford is now scheduling build dates in July. Long McArthur got 12, yes 12, Maverick allocations for May. That means Ford has to schedule, build, and allocate Long...

It is possible to make a hybrid with a manual, the Honda CR-Z was available that way, but I don't see Ford ever doing it. I really enjoy driving a manual transmission. I don't care of the computer controlled automatic is better a shifting than I am, I just like the engagement involved with...

If one of my orders actually gets built as a 2022 I will probably not reorder for 2023. Depending on what the used car market looks like in 2024 and what changes are made to the Maverick I might well order again then. This is of course provided the ownership experience from 2022-2024 has been...

I really only went with FX4 because I like the instrument cluster and wheels better; I will likely never need the actual functional features. But, I figured it would add to the value of the truck down the road because people like the FX4 badging and perceived functionality. With that in mind...

Unfortunately you are correct, or at least my dealer agrees with your dealer. ;) So, looks like if I get a 2022 Maverick it will be an AWD EcoBoost. I have added the 4k tow package to two of my orders because I think it makes sense for overall durability and resale value despite the fact...

I would absolutely buy a manual Maverick even if the only engine option with the manual was a turbo charged 3 cylinder in a base trim. I'd also be really excited if the same truck was available as a regular cab with a longer bed. Best little truck I ever owned was the Mazda B2200 pictured to...

Good point, still a significant savings, but not as much as I thought. You have a good point about the 4k tow package. I don't have it on any of my orders, primarily because I don't have a trailer and don't expect to ever have one. However, the extra durable components would be nice. I...

All three of the Mavericks I have on order are AWD EcoBoosts. None of them are scheduled yet. Due to the wait time I ended up having to buy a different vehicle. I needed something by mid-May. That seemed reasonable when I ordered in January, but now there is no chance I will have a Maverick...

I had a good experience with Carvana back in November when I sold them my 3 1/2 year old Kia Sorento LX FWD for about $800 more than I paid for it new.

So, if you are already at the back of the line then changing trim level doesn't matter right? Lets say I change my last minute XLT AWD order to a XL FWD; nothing changes because I was already at the back of the line? Same as if I change it to a Lariat?

These are all the vehicles I have owned, in order of year, not necessarily in the order I have owned them. It is hard to rate the best ones against each other because they had different traits that made them among my favorites. -2022 Toyota RAV4 XLE Hybrid AWD -2018 Kia Sorento LX -2015 Ford...

I have three outstanding orders. Two of them were done correctly for sure because they are through Granger and Long McArthur. I have not gotten this email on any of my orders and none of them are scheduled. Go figure. I bought a Hybrid RAV4 last weekend because I couldn't wait for the...

I picked up a 2022 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid XLE AWD yesterday. It cost more than the Maverick, a little more or a lot more, depending on which of my orders one is comparing it to. However, it is both a hybrid and AWD and it was actually available in a reasonable amount of time as opposed to the...

I picked up my RAV4 Hybrid XLE AWD yesterday. The Toyota was actually delayed twice so I got it a month after it was originally scheduled to be delivered. Still no movement on my Maverick orders. My wife has already expressed interest in "stealing" my RAV4 so I might still end up with a...

Yeah, nuts. I just bought a new 2022 Toyota RAV4 XLE hybrid AWD for $36k out the door (taxes, tags, etc. included) with oil changes for free for as long as I own the vehicle. I still "overpaid" (by 2020 standards) by about $3k. I wonder which vehicle will have a better resale value in 2...

So, technically I am paying MSRP. However, I am also getting charged for some overpriced dealer add on stuff that under normal car buying circumstances I would have refused to pay for. They are: Paint sealant, fabric protector, nitrogen filled tires, and window tint. That is adding about...

Well, it isn't here yet, but from the day I put the deposit to the projected delivery date was 37 days. According to the dealer it is still on track to arrive on day 37. That could always change though, you never know.

I have a deposit down on a 2022 RAV4 Hybrid XLE AWD that is supposed to be delivered to the dealer next Monday. At the rate Ford is going I should have plenty of time to drive the RAV4 and decide if I want to keep it or trade/sell it and get the Maverick when it finally gets produced.

I got the same email for all three of my orders (see signature). I've got to hand it to Ford, they sent a 3 paragraph email with the title "A change in your 2022 Maverick XLT order" with the sub header "Important news on the status of your new Ford" that contains no information about any...

The sudden spike in gas prices will also drive up the price of all hybrid and electric vehicles. The unavailability of the Maverick combined with that is a double whammy. In general, people are bad a math. They will spend $10k more on a car to save $2000 on gas. Yes, it feels better at the...
