I think it will come down to the Maverick / Bronco Sport production split. Will they keep on making more Bronco Sports? With how many BS are on dealer lots, I think they will shift production to the Maverick. On the other hand, it will not matter if they don't get more Maverick orders.

And with a 13 month instead of 11 month production run and adding a 3rd shift they can probably build close to 150K Mavericks for MY24.

In previous years non US sales have been around 15% of total sales.

There are a lot of XL only parts in the interior, such as the seats and trim pieces.

Keep in mind this is US orders only. They are also taking Canada, Mexico, Brazil and Argentina orders the factory must build also.

Interesting, hybrid capacity went up to 55% (from 50), XL capacity went down to 23% (from 25) and hitches are not currently constrained.

Your 25 year old van probably has a V8 and therefore needs a large battery to start the start the engine. This large battery has lots of capacity to maintain the voltage when the engine is off. The EB has a small I4 and the hybrid does not even need 12V to run a traditional starter so they...

But the high voltage wires are de-energized when the vehicle is off. There is a contactor near the battery that shuts off. This contactor is controlled by 12V. That is why the vehicle can't be started if the 12V battery is dead.

Yours is the 104,15* Maverick scheduled for the 23 model year. But Ford does not build them in VIN order. So yours is probably near the end but no way of knowing for sure.

Hope they get this straightened out before they start scheduling 24's on Thursday.

The Highland hybrid ICE is rated for 186 HP, a fair bit more than the Maverick's 162 Good point about the backing up. I did see a post by someone that claimed they could not back up their 40 degree incline driveway in their Mav hybrid even without a trailer. And not because of traction, the...

While I agree that FWDs are not the best for towing, we can look at the specs for other vehicles and say FWD is not the week link. Escape 1.5 EcoBoost AWD 2000 Lbs tow capacity (same C2 platform as Maverick) Bronco Sport 2.0 EcoBoost AWD 2200 Lbs tow capacity (same C2 platform as Maverick)...

That one has a manual switch between HS CAN and the MS CAN. The OBDLink EX has a software switch between HS and MS and is one of two scanners officially recommended by FORScan.

Congrats! Your VIN means they have scheduled over 104,1XX vehicles for model year 23. Anyone else have a higher VIN?

Yes, and allocations are assigned to dealers each month. So their monthly allocation can change month to month.

And does that imply the 24s will get a different tire?

Ford, Lincoln, Mazda and Mercury (if you still have one). Mazda due to Ford partially owning them at one time and they standardized on the same protocols as Ford.

I've had a few flash their headlights at me when going the opposite direction at speed on 2 lane road. Didn't notice their vehicle at first and was thinking their might be a speed trap ahead. :ROFLMAO:

Yes, Tesla has sold around 4.5 million and Ford recalled 1.5 million Pintos. There would also be the question comparing miles driven. And finally the 27 Pinto deaths were directly linked to the gas tank design problem. Whereas some of the people that died in Teslas may have died even if the...
