Step out of your Maverick "bubble" and visit other car lots / manufacturers. EVERY new car on EVERY dealer lot I have visited has an ADM added to MSRP. But, don't trust my word, go check it out for yourself.

UPDATE!! Received email from Ford at 2:32 AM this morning, stating my truck has been built, and is waiting shipping to Long McArthur Ford, with an arrival window of 3-9 May. As for the assigned salesman at LM, the only conversation I have had with him is when I have started the conversation...

FWIW, I was stationed on Oahu from 1992-1996. EVERY new car, regardless of make/model, had a MINIMUM $3,000 Hawaii Market Adjustment added to MSRP. That was a non-negotiable cost back then. It was actually cheaper to purchase a car on the mainland, and pay shipping costs to have a vehicle...

Just received an update from Ford. Schedule moved up to the week of 28 March 2022. News just keeps getting better, for a change.

Tim, I am ecstatic. Received the email from Ford, and text message from Lonnie. Scheduled for the week of April 4. Thanks for all you have done, and continue to do, to keep the Ford community informed with the facts.

Jackpot!!! FE Hybrid Rapid Red Lariat Lux Package CP360 Ordered through Long McArthur. Scheduled for production April 4. VIN issued.

You obviously did not listen to Tim Bartz Tuesday evening. He stated that the allocation system does not appear to "reward" large dealers, as allocations as a percentage look to be about equal between large and small dealers.

Ordered through LM on June 15: Lariat FE Hybrid Rapid Red Lariat Lux Package CP360 I guess we'll see what Thursday brings.

The attached article helps somewhat explain the shortage of chemicals for the SIBL, specifically Propylene Oxide. https://polyureareviews.com/whats-causing-the-polyurea-and-spray-foam-shortage/

Thanks!! "Movin on up to the east side"

No thanks, I'll wait.

Dealers are provided monthly allocations. Form listening to Tim Bartz broadcasts on Youtube, a dealer may receive an allocation for a specific build (XL, XLT, FE). That does not guarantee that those allocations will be fulfilled in that month, due to commodity constraints, or other...

What cycle are you referring to?

If your order is a Priority 2, Ford is previewing your vehicle to build. Some of have been in preview for several months, with no scheduled build date. Vehicles can only be built if ALL components are available for that particular build.

Reposting this for those who don't take the time to research. Found this on another site. Explains the allocation / ordering process very well. Dealers assign priority codes to each order based on the Order Type. Stock orders are assigned priority codes 20-80, retail orders are assigned...

Maybe so, but at a cost: https://www.edmunds.com/car-news/chip-shortage-forces-gm-to-drop-popular-features-heated-seats.html

That would be nice. Tim didn't come right out and say that, but he did allude to the fact the FE can only be built as MY22, so I continue to patiently wait. Honestly, this is not as bad as the Bronco. My wife has been on a reservation list for over a year, because she will not "settle" for...

Didn't have a chance to listen to Tim's "Tech Tuesday" last night, but am listening now. Tim did say in his broadcast that all First Editions will be built, as they can only be built as MY22. That is good news for those that ordered the FE prior to the cutoff. I ordered the FE Hybrid on 6/15...
