  1. Smart Vincent and Dealership Invoicing

    I had placed my first Maverick hybrid XLT order October 21, 2021. It went unfulfilled. Using the same name, phone number, address, and email, I had placed my second Maverick hybrid XLT order September 19, 2022. Theoretically, I should be eligible for some $2,750 private offer from Ford, I...
  2. Psychological basis of waiting for orders = Stockholm Syndrome

    I am currently at day 539 without being scheduled, and most of the folks reading this have been waiting longer. It has recently occurred to me that we may be in an abusive relationship with Ford, and we are actually suffering from Stockholm syndrome. Rationally, I have no reason to continue...
  3. "Activity" Code Interpretation Request

    At 511 days since my initial order and having received no indication of scheduling from the good Ford Motor Company, I intrepidly contacted our wonderful friends at the Maverick Service Team. After performing the obligatory recitition of my name, address, sales code, and order code, "Cindy"...
  4. Kit Truck Availability

    Since I have been waiting for 16 months, one of my friends asked if I had my new truck yet. I joked that mine hasn't been constructed yet. Or scheduled for production. Or probably had the lithium ore dug out of the ground. So he offered a shovel if it would help me expedite things. This got...
  5. Number of times to call Customer Service before getting coupon

    I have thus far contacted Ford Customer service line 4 times in the last three months and asked about the $100 coupon code emailed for having waited since October with no communications from Ford. They either tell me there are no coupons on my order or have no idea what I am talking about. How...
  6. Construction Workers Needed

    I am operating under the assumption that my 2022 Maverick (ordered October 21) will not be built. I am at peace with this. I am also operating under the assumption that Ford will not be able to complete my replacement orders for 2023 and 2024 either, because Ford will still be short...
  7. A Story, as told by Ronald Reagan

    “I’ve been collecting stories that are told in the Soviet Union, by their people, among themselves, which reveal they’ve got a great sense of humour but they’ve also got a pretty cynical attitude toward their system… I didn’t tell this one to Gorbachev. You know there’s a ten year delay in the...
  8. Maverick Wait Vs. Uber Costs

    XLT with XLT Luxury Package order placed 10/22/21. I have been driving around my historic-tagged '97 F-150 as my commuter vehicle. As of today, however, it has been in the shop for 8 days and its future looks increasingly bleak. I have spent $240 this week getting back and forth to work by...
  9. Rough Probability of Error

    It has been since 10/22/21 (244 days as of TOP) that I received my ROD for a Maverick XLT from a local dealer. I have yet to receive an email of any form from FMC, and 3 months since my seemingly insouciant dealership has emailed me about it. What is the likelihood that something is wrong with...
  10. Celebration time!

    My dear friends, I have finally made it. It has been 6 months since I've placed my order! To mark this special occasion, I had a cake decorated by a local bakery to commemorate this incredible milestone. I want to thank each and every one of you for making this important time in my life so...
