Just going by what he told me. It may be an internal change at the dealership. I know he has no reason to lie to me. I have too many connections in the local media... although I did shoot a commercial for their competition a while back...lol
So for those with the First Edition package...we just wait....we remove nothing! The First Edition cult club will get what we want! <insert evil laugh>
I spoke with my dealer yesterday, and he was assured by Ford that all his orders would be fulfilled this model year. He has 42..22 of which are hybrids. I would consider them a mid-size dealer in a college town. He also told me he has 4 being scheduled next week, but he doesn't show which are...
That's one thing about living in a college town..most businesses are still doing well. My dealer sold a black widow f150 with a 15k markup, but that was a premium vehicle to begin with. The person that bought it obviously didn't care...when you can pay cash like that, you can afford it...lol

Apparently Ford isn't as bad as other companies on dealer markup above MSRP, but it could hurt those that do. Sounds like dealer...
I hope so. Trying to keep my miles below 20k on my Ranger and keep some equity in it...and hopefully interest rates don't skyrocket before people can get them. If I was a name actor, I wouldn't care...but not there yet. lol
I'm not a big guy, but I am struggling with that turn dial shifter. I drove a straight shift s-10 for years, and still like that feeling of control. Solution, I'm figured out a way to build a faux shifter that will fit in the cup holder. Basically a fancy hand rest.
They do exist. My wife ordered her 22 PHEV Escape the same day as my maverick. We've had it a month....and still has over a 1/4 of a tank at 850 miles. I just wish the Maverick had the HUD now.
I just got off the phone with Ford. The girl I spoke with said she wishes that information about the COVP and ROVP wasn't out there because it really doesn't mean anything. She said it's just how they look up orders. I think the issue may got back to a lot of shady dealers. I ordered October 1st...
I just hope the market stays the way it is for a while so I don't lose equity in my Ranger before my Maverick is built. Maybe some good news this week. On a side note...my wife's 2022 PHEV Escape is pretty epic. A HUD should be standard in all new vehicles.
Good luck everyone. I hope everyone gets scheduled soon....except the first editions. We wait. Maybe by summer the SIBL and tonneau cover issues will be resolved. Patiently waiting.
Congrats! No salted wound here. I wait patiently. Plus, my wife's 2022 plug in escape comes in within the next two weeks. So we have at least one new vehicle for a road trip.
Hello everyone. I'd been lurking this page for months, so I figured it was about time to join. I'm patiently waiting for my Maverick to be built, and hoping I don't lose equity on my 2020 Ranger. I have all the standard bells and whistles on a First Edition, Rapid Red, all weather interior, with...
