Yeah? I've been thinking that for months now.The fun continues!! Maybe this will be my week!!
I don't understand this scheduling chart. When I ordered the Hybrid XL base package I was told I would get the truck by the middle of December 2021. I try to be patient with not getting any communications from Ford or my Ford dealership. But I did receive an email my order was confirmed.
I may have missed an explanation buried somewhere else - but, what does breakdown actually tell us? These are weeks that trucks are scheduled to be built, but, it doesn’t tell us what or how may are being built?
You're not alone...
Yes exactly.. it means that at least 1 Maverick truck will be built in each of those weeks. Of course it could mean, we were planning on building at least 1 truck a week…. But if we don’t there’s not a damn thing you can do about it. Cause you know, we at Ford “just don’t care”.
I agree up to a point in particular with personal vehicles. I as a rule, being very much a car ho, I purchase extremely nice cherry condition examples of cool, interesting older vehicles. I currently own several extremely nice examples of Corvettes Jaguars and other interesting makes of automobile. All purchased as used and extremely nice examples of each type. All that goes out the window when it comes for vehicles for my business. Because of depreciation and reliability and manufacture warranty, when it comes to my business I only buy new vehicles. So when it comes a personal vehicles I think new is often not the smartest financial move. However, when it comes to vehicles used in business, I think buying new vehicles is the only way to go.
My Mav XL Hybrid is the base model with no accessories. It's the plain base model for $21490 carbonized gray. I think that can be built relatively quick...
I asked the agent on the Marketing team if the truck I ordered (non-hybrid) would be built in 2022 or 2023: "who knows" was the response What happens if Ford cannot build all of the orders for model year 2022 before the next model year, 2023, rolls out in late summer 2022? At their current production pace, safety recalls, and Covid set backs is it realistic that they can build all of the orders? Some on this site have been waiting since July-Aug for a build date. What happens to those who ordered in late fall before the cutoff?
Good question. With scheduling dates now into March and adding in delivery time those who ordered in June are getting close to a year in waiting. So whether or not Ford can produce everything before the start of MY23, which is Oct 2022, only Ford can answer that question and Ford's current lack of communication it's highly unlikely anyone will know until the last minute. Of course, there's a lot of folks who will speculate as too what could happen, but again it's up to Ford to figure it out at the end of the day.
