As long as it doesn't get held up at the factory after it's built, it should ship within days. Then it goes to KC on a train I believe to be picked up by a hauler. Always a chance it gets stuck there too. Ford can also move the scheduled build week sooner or later. You shipping it to NC or...
My wife's is also scheduled for the week of 5/20. Last year my mav from Granger was built on 4/16/23, arrived at Granger around 5/1/23 and I picked it up on 5/5/23.
I'll probably mention it if I ever get the recalls done. No change so far in 7k miles. Think mine has a bit of a shimmy and the clunky AWD 4k shifts as reported on another thread. I'm not overly impressed with my first Ford, only bought it because of the Granger 3000 under MSRP deal. I do like...
I can report mine are touchy on occasion. Seems like at slow speed first time I hit the brakes in a parking lot or coming out of my driveway. I have my foot steady on brake and the pedal sinks a bit like the pedal loses pressure or resistance and stop more abruptly. Definitely worse when raining.

My father in law never changes his transmission fluid in any vehicles. His 1994 dodge intrepid had 150000 mostly city miles before he dumped it for his 2008 Chevy Impala. That currently has 130000 mostly city miles with never changed transmission fluid. His wife had a sonata with original...
I can only speak from my own experience. Before the Maverick I've had 2 1500 rams which I bought brand new. Each with 120000 plus miles and zero transmission issues. I buy whatever is the cheapest and that's why I bought a mav and rams before. I don't have a fanboy attitude towards any...
Might be a surprise to you but the current ram 8 speed(2013+) is based off the same 6 hp zf transmission Ford used called the 6R tranny from 2005 to 2020 in a bunch of there vehicles including the F150. Glad both brands had or have that weak link.
The filter and pan are one piece for my ram 8 speed. Changing that out last time I checked was north of 1500 bucks. I'm going with the lifetime fill per ram since I also have their lifetime power train warranty. 120k miles, shifts like new still. Bought the power train warranty for my Maverick...
Same for me, truck likes to lug around on lower rpms on the county roads and city which makes it bog down with some vibration. I can actually see the gas mileage go down because of it on the gauge. Definitely worse with the 235s on now.
Hopefully ours get scheduled today. If not, I think we will be waiting until May production. My 2023 got scheduled last year in February, so maybe I'll get lucky again. Zach @Granger Ford, can you tell us how many XL hybrids are waiting to be scheduled? How are the future allocations looking...
Think I counted 12 xl's on grangers web site that are either stock or in the process of being shipped. Hopefully there will be a few more allocations for XL hybrids coming in the near future for us.
