I checked mine for codes, and even the dealer looked and didnt see anything unusual.

I mean I literally said something going on because why the hell does an order placed in December get built before an order placed in July? Thats ridiculous IMO that orders all the way back in summer 2021 still arent built. Did I not specify that? And a parts shortage would make sense IMO.

I cant wait for gas to go up so I can shit talk my buddy in his big F150

What rattle do folks keep talking about? Ive been over 90 MPH in my XL Hybrid and havent heard a rattle..

This nonsense wont be over for years("Pandemic is no endemic"), 2023 hybrids will also sell out and be scarce, and value will continue to go up because of it. I could flip my Maverick right now and make a profit, even though I paid 3k ish over MSRP Im not worried at all. I have DEALERS offering...

Its kinda a pain to keep it in electric all the time, you have to get it up to speed then try to "coast" it. Just barely touch the gas. if you move it more than like a milimeter the ICE turns on. If you have the heater too high, the ICE turns on.

Dunno but Im sure Ill find out as once June rolls around Ill be using it.

Yeah having the heater on does hurt the MPG a bit I noticed. Im getting on average 38-40 MPG here because of that.

Out of curiosity what options did you have?

Thats exactly my point. Ford doesn't control ALL aspects of manufacturing. Ford's main parts suppliers, along with the parts they supply, are as follows: Flex-N-Gate Seeburn - Ontario, Canada: door hinges and arms. NHK Spring - Shiga-ken, Japan: suspension stabilizer linkages. U-Shin...

Well I know for a fact Mazda makes all 4 banger engines for Ford. Including the 2.5-VE which is literally the one in the Maverick with the Atkinson 2.5 variation, so yes. Been this way forever now. So NO its not true that "Ford controls the manufacturing nuts to bolts" thats actually obviously...

Wow so since I got my Hybrid in December, its like.. minty fresh.....

Im pretty sure its not 100% true. Its a Mazda engine, Ford may put it together, but Mazda makes the parts far as I know. Or at least some of them.

I mean i knew this shit was gonna happen, so I wasnt even gonna fight to get one ordered. Look at all the other goods and "scarcity/scalping" going around. New unique one of a kind compact hybrid pickup. Saw them being hard to get coming a mile away.

And technically the Maverick Hybrid engine is just a modified Mazda L5-VE.

They dont make all the PARTS for that engine, they "Assemble it" SO if there is a critical part shortage somewhere, thats totally possible.

Don't know, dont care, paid them the ADM and walked away with the Maverick Hybrid that night. Ive already saved 2 tanks of gas money versus my old truck, so $60 in a month? Ill make back that ADM in no time between that and other maintenance costs.

Pretty much my assumption too. Everyone here loves to jump on the "ALL DEALERS ARE LYING" bandwagon though every single time.

I kinda want one

You dont know that, NOBODY knows that unless you get it from Fords mouth, but clearly something is wrong if orders from JUNE of last year are still not built yet.
