Are you sure about that? I didn't notice any posts from members who got scheduled who went through LM this week. I did see one person who left in the default criteria for posting their scheduling info though, which could be confusing.
Oh! Sounds like your dealer didn't put your email in the system when they placed the order. You're supposed to get notifications through every step of the scheduling and production process. (Unless you're in Canada in which case you won't get any emails, but it looks like you're in AZ, so....)
So you never got an updated email from Ford saying you went into production?
I originally had a build date of 2/14 but then got an email last week saying it got bumped up to 2/7. I'll have to keep checking the tracker to see if anything changes.
And I have found that accessing the tracker...
Yes, it could be faster. However, Ford has been ramping up Hybrid production quite a bit lately. The last round of scheduling seemed to favor Hybrid over Ecoboost so it feels like a crapshoot either way.
At the end of the day, I would get the truck you want. I only switched to Ecoboost because...
I changed my July Hybrid order to Ecoboost in October and when I finally got my scheduling email a few weeks ago it listed October as the "order date", so yeah it will send you to the back of the line unfortunately.
Not 100% sure if the price hike on the packages and accessories would effect...
I'm not a fan of big markups at all, but if a dealer wants to add a few $K to their STOCK units to pad their profits, I can't blame them for trying. 15K is completely insane though.
Having said all that, dealerships shouldn't dare mark up a customer's RETAIL order. The only reason that truck is...
So far I've bought these (in no particular order):
Tailgate assist
A really nice dash cam
Black Maverick vinyl tailgate lettering
Wireless CarPlay adapter
Auto start/stop eliminator
I'm still waiting for the truck so this is all collecting dust in my closet at the moment. I'm sure this list...
I'm learning this dealership is completely clueless. After I told them no thanks, they emailed me back and said that the order banks closed in November and they don't know when they'll reopen.
First, the order banks are still open for Ecoboosts (which this 1st Edition is)
Second, Ford notified...
Vally Ford in Huron Ohio. Looks like a retail order that was abandoned and is now stock. Dealership told me it's available for purchase at a 15k markup.
No thanks.

The Maverick is a great truck and worth waiting for, in my opinion.
Having said that, it will be a true test of your patience. I ordered mine July 6th and it's scheduled to be built the 2nd week of Feb which means I'll receive it probably in early April. (That's 9 months if you're counting.)...
My dad has been a HAM since he was a kid (K8AES). I never really got into it myself but he still has his license, (although he doesn't use it much these days.)
When my dad was first starting he became friends with another HAM who had listened to live distress calls from the Titanic. It's a...
I got a bad feeling from Liberty right off the bat so I went to Bob Gillingham Ford instead. I ordered 7/6 and got scheduled last week for a February build week. Hope you get an email today. They can come out anywhere from 10:30am to 3:00pm, typically Ford sends them all out in one large dump at...
It's your truck, man. Do what you want.
That being said, I drove my wife's Escape a few weeks ago on a trip and I noticed a lot of aggro drivers tailgating or zooming around me and then slowing down to be a jerk (usually a giant pickup truck). It rarely if ever happens when I'm driving my own...
