I did it. Get on fords inventory finder every day search a wide radius and call about every truck that comes up. I found 4 or 5 within 200 miles. I went with the one closest to my order at msrp. It took a lot of effort but it’s doable.
I checked 5 times a day if not more. The morning I found mine and got a deposit on it I checked and there was nothing I refreshed it and the truck popped up and I called immediately.
I was going on inventory search and calling on every truck I would be interested in. I called on probably 100 trucks within a 250 mile radius. I found 3 available hybrids and this was the only one at msrp. It’s just the shotgun approach.
My original order was Cyber Orange XLT with a moonroof. I wasn’t sure about the Area 51 when I saw the broncos in photos but I liked it in Mav pictures. I love it in person.
I ordered my hybrid Maverick on October 21 and haven’t even gotten a vin yet. I sold my f150 in October because the carmax offer was too good to pass up. I’ve been driving my Miata in the mean time which is great for single person transport but I needed a vehicle that a car seat can go in asap...
there is a section near the mid bottom that says item# there will be a 4 digit order number starting with a letter in that code. It’s usually set like this
##-P172 O/T#
The P172 would be the order number.
Got my Area 51 Hybrid XLT today! Got it from Mendoza Ford in Maurice outside of Laffy. Amazing experience got it MSRP and it was a stock order that I found on the Ford inventory finder. They also had an Area 51 Lariat someone was on their way to pick up. Hopefully I see some of you out there in...
I called about that truck too! They had a hot pepper red at the same time. I didn’t want to pay the extra 2k at the time. Congrats! I just had the luxury to wait a little longer.
supposedly the epa required ford to have the range rated with 1000 pound payload in the truck. The info coming out said the base battery should have significantly more range than 230 when not loaded down.
