Make sure you submit the Google form recommending the dealership AFTER you complete the purchase of your Maverick (please).

Please submit your dealer recommendation via...
Thank you to everyone that used the form to recommend dealerships and to warn folks away from certain dealerships.

@ThatGuy92
I maintain the list of dealers that are recommended as well as those with a warning. Please submit a summary of this via this Google Form and I will place a warning next to this dealer on the list.

I hope someone corrects me if I am wrong. I don't have my XLT BAP in the driveway -- my son has it 450 miles away.
The BAP interior changes include:
Different seat colors; they are not black on the XLT... More like a dark charcoal.
All of the orange touches are replaced with black on the XLT...
I agree. @fordvideoguy has been transparent, ethical, and has helped people with their purchase and service needs whether it benefit L-M or not. I support them as a member because I have received far more value than the $600 or so it will cost me this year.
I wish I could place my MY2024...
This should have been a poll where we - or the Ford product manager - could have done some analysis. I hope someone is keeping track of the information being provided.
I think Ford hit it out of the park with the Maverick. Ignore that they underestimated the demand for the hybrid version and...
I maintain the list of good dealerships for MTC. Like you, I am in Orange County CA.
I don't have any good or warning reports for Santa Margarita Ford yet. Thus, I cannot say whether or not you should be concerned. If it was me, I would stay with them if the salesperson is up to speed with...
This is not possible... The OP must complete the purchase for this vehicle from the dealer, as @OleFordGuy indicated. Completing the purchase means paying for the license, registration, and taxes (about 11% total in CA).
If the dealer sold you the Lariat Hybrid at MSRP, expecting you to leave...
I will add to this with a slightly different perspective.
I purchased a 2022 XL Hybrid and didn't care for the CVT or rear suspension. I sold it with less than 1000 miles.
I purchased a 2023 XLT EB AWD with the 4K tow package. I like the 8-speed transmission and the independent rear suspension...
I also had an A.R.E. MX shell installed on my Maverick. I am not having issues with water getting into the bed area. I suspect the reason why mine worked is a result of having Line-X install the spray-in bedliner (SPIBL) after I received the truck. The SPIBL may have created a flat surface for...
You too. I plan on ordering another Maverick - one for my son - when the 2024 Model Year order banks open. It will be an Ecoboost XL. I have not decided if it will be AWD or FWD yet.
I hope you are enjoying your Maverick as much as I will enjoy mine when I get it back from my son.
I went with the XL when I ordered in 2021 for the 2022 Model Year because of the interior. It was a difficult decision since the exterior color I wanted wasn't available in the XL. I ended up getting a 2022 XL Hybrid in Oxford White.
I didn't like the Hybrid with CVT combination. I sold it when...
I was thinking about this discussion, and a few thoughts came to mind.
I know the tendency is to complain about this process. Yet, I think optimizing production capacity and figuring out an equitable allocation of the orders @Ford Motor Company would be a rewarding job. I would jump at the...
True.
I am lucky because there are at least 4 dealerships within 10 miles of my home. Yet, I won't buy from any of them because they won't sell at MSRP without adding unwanted services or an added dealer markup.
I do, however, have a great service advisor at the closest dealership, and will...
Keep in mind that this topic is not about LM in particular. It's a conversation about Ford informing dealers how many orders to take and falling short of delivering against that estimate.
Your statement about how Long McArthur accepted and when they stopped taking orders is wrong. They only...
