⏱ Maverick Scheduling This Week (2/28) For Production Build Week 4/25/22

[Starwatcher]

Will be happy for everyone's orders, once the 60% peak of orders is scheduled this month. Then Fall orders will have a shot. Have a feeling not significant orders were changed because or constraint items. My dealer never even called me with a Lariat Lux order. @fordvideoguy interrupted that combination was down the line being the #10th item.

Talked to Ford Marketing this morning. Not that what they say matters, after all the lies since August, but this is what they said. They have a slew of young people who don’t know how to handle problems, so they just make stuff up, to shut us up. My August order will probably not be made till late summer, early fall, and will be a 23 model. Do not cancel and reorder…change the existing order in August, to accept the 23 model changes. Dealers are not very attentive to details, so DO NOT let them cancel. Make the change and accept the change when needed. Another year wait if you let them cancel. I did get a $100 dollar gift certificate for all the problems. For what it is worth, that is what I was told this morning.

@fordvideoguy received word from the brand manger that Ford's goal is to schedule all June, July and August orders by the end of April. He's repeatedly stated that a Lux is the biggest non bed accessory related constraint and that all of the 360's would not get built. Since his hybrid XLT has a 360 he isn't recommending people from dropping it either. Tim's live stream this evening contain many other pieces of valuable information.

So trucks with the 360 package won’t get built, but we also shouldn’t remove it?!?!

Just got a email from Ford, My XLT, Hybrid, With Sunroof, Spray in bed liner, CP350 has been built! I'm stunned, the email says the estimated delivery is between 3-12 and 3-18... We shall see...

Just got a email that my truck was built Hybrid with CP360.

Don’t understand how the weekly emails correspond to the build week. I got my June order scheduled for build on Feb 7 for production the week of April 25th. Shouldn’t I have been scheduled 3 weeks earlier?

Disclaimer: I'm speculating.

Not necessarily. It also depends on what parts they have available, what their shipping capacity is, etc. You may have been like up next in the queue for scheduling, but they looked at incoming supplies and they weren't going to have a specific part or maybe shipping spot on the train for your area until that week. They don't hold 100% to the date in the table, it's just a guideline for bulk order scheduling. There will always be outliers as they adjust for the real time production capabilities and procurement expectations.

I didn't watch the LS. Maybe you or Tim could clarify: when saying Ford wants to schedule summer orders by end of April, do the mean assign build dates by end of April, or schedule them for March/April production dates.
Those are two very different things. I hope I don't have to play the "Thursday Game" for another 8 weeks!

I'm going to guess it's assign a build date considering the fact that they've already assigned production into April.

 

[Starwatcher]

Maybe. I ordered a bare bones XL Hybrid on June 17, 2021 and no word on scheduling. Just original confirmation and FITS email last October.

At least you got a FITS mail!

I suspect as much. Still hoping though. If I don't get scheduled until late April, I could be looking at pretty damned close to a year from order to delivery.

In the meantime…Ford introduces new models to the press, knowing it can’t make them.

Already readjusted my expectations based on the Ford email to dealers. Think it's dicey mine will be built this MY.

Two things give me some hope for a September or October delivery. One is in the pas week have seen a Ford representative posting on this forum and think they are trying, especially sine @fordvideoguy thought they would not schedule this week and looks like they are.

Second, while my dealer did not promptly submit my order on Oct25 and have seen people with that and Oct 26th dates, they did say was in the middle of the pack of orders and have seen 3 Mavericks on their site. Plus I'm like number 10 on the constraints ranking.
