At inspection they failed it because the SECOND frame under my 01 Taco rusted clean thru. 91K. Two body shops told me āno wayā. Got the name of a scrapper who offered my $600 sight unseen. Last thing I heard from the body shop was ādonāt go over any railroad crossingsā. Yeah, that bad.

No problemo, senor! I am 80, my friends and family expect me to sit around staring at ālove boatā reruns and looking for my long list shaker of salt.
instead, I although I may soon be a charter member on the ā600 clubā, my truck is at the railhead and within two weeks Iāll be driving the most...
Sorry, I did not respond in the proper format. So shocked I froze⦠have had the 1000 yard stare for so so long!!

XLT Luxe Hybrid. 10/15/2021 yes 2021 - 517 days ago. Scheduled today for week of 5/1⦠with delays and transportation I will likely make the āTriple Nickelā club but I will be smiling when I do. Best of luck to all of you!!
17 months in, I am totally numbed by the experience. Hybrid XLT Luxe. Priority 2 at Ford, #1 (he tells me) at my dealer. But⦠NO allocation = NO schedule.
Fordās scheduling thru May? 12K Mavericks? ZZzzzzz
SSDD. Same S#!+, Different Day.
As a potential member of the āTriple Nickelā club, I am surprised⦠by nothing. Itās all smoke and mirrors, guys. Like Tesla stock, you can project what you like but ultimately some trivial fact - or whim - will decide what goes up and what goes down⦠or in our cases, who gets built and who does...
Can I join? 10/15/21 Order, l also re-ordered 9/16/22. I had my hands on a dealer stock XL Ecoboost in '21 and let it slip awayyyyyy when I ordered the XLT Hybrid Luxe. (That noise you hear is me kicking myself.) Ah, shoulda coulda woulda.
Will hit 500 next week while driving the wife's...
Not much point in me checking even. Since my dealer did not sell enough of the trucks he couldn't get from Ford last year, he has no allocations from Ford to build the truck he already sold me (16 months ago!) for this year. Somehow the logic in all that escapes me.
Should've ordered from...
... But if my dealer has no allocations, (None, zip, zero, nada) and has no idea when or even if he'll get any, my 16 months of waiting has pretty much been crushed by your Abrams, huh?
Under the "Bird in the hand" theory, a used Ridgeline is looking better and better.
Yo, Bo...
We're in the same category here in rural New Hampshire. My family is sick of the whole thing and I'm startin' to think they're all right. Tired of borrowing trucks to make the weekly dump run. Should call it quits and buy an old Taco but I got $600 worth of Maverick-specific...
Well. Hybrid? Trailer Hitch? Tonneau? Nope, at 452 days and still counting, although slower, I am convinced that dealer allocations and no other factors are my "constraint". Given that Ford told us all, over a year ago, that they were abandoning dealer allocations, I'll believe it when I...
Echo echo echo ā¦. Same canned āupdateā here. Think Iāll hibernate ātil late January as I donāt expect much over the holidays. Thatāll be my third year in the order bank. I must be nuts, lemme look. Yep, glazed look, slack jowls, I guess Iām just too dumb to see the forest for the trees.
Well...
Sung to āMy Country Tis of Theeāā¦
Aināt got no truck for me

With my apologies to Tennessee Ernie Ford;
I went out one morninā when the sun didnāt shine,
And I ordered up my Maverick and was feelinā fine.
