📝 (12/14/22) – 2023 MAVERICK AVAILABILITY MEMO Allows Order Switch From Hybrid to EcoBoost! + New Discount Package + Current Constraints Info

[JamesC]

Yes, it should show as a package discount on the window sticker for anyone that is built after their start date of the discount package and no I don't know what that date is.

Is the SIBL/cargo deal available on an XL?

If you ordered the SIBL already, will the cargo system be automatically added? I assume no.

Thanks Tim.

Just talked to Ford and they don’t have any knowledge of the special price bundle for $495. Are we in the Twilight Zone?

Yes they are available on the XL and no your dealer would need to add both as stand alone options to your order.

Dang it, I ordered an XL hybrid with the hitch....looks like im tripple constrained. I'd happily switch to an XLT with the 2.0 if it was a free upgrade, in the same way they gave all wheel drive free to some of the first orders for the my22

After waiting almost a year without being scheduled, I rolled over from a 22 Hybrid, XL, Hitch and copilot to a 23 EB with same options. Got scheduled last week. Hybrid is the biggest constraint and switching to EB should up your chances, that is why I changed. Well unless there is a giant wave of switchover to EB, then it could be different.

So stupid how they didn't plan to build what was ordered. All they had to do was look at the order bank from 2022

 

[wax87]

The spreadsheet was "back of the napkin" math. Ford said before Hybrid was 68% of orders and now say they are 73% of orders. So, either they scheduled a lot more than the planned production of 65% EB last month or the outstanding Cancelled VINs that are now included in that count.

So if I removed the hitch, I have a 73% chance of getting mine?

Pretty wild that Ford knowingly took twice as many hybrid orders as they could fulfill. They really need to hire someone to overhaul their ordering software.

Ford knowingly took too many orders.

Yes, because Jim Farley and the ghost of Henry Ford were tabulating each order instantly as they came in, and hatched a plot to take twice as many orders as they could build.

Hybrid is the biggest constraint and my opinion is most ecoboost will be built even with constrained xl and hitch options. Well unless there is a giant wave of switchover to EB, then it could be different.

They are doubling the gas taxes in WA state come January. If they want me to give up they Hybrid engine and go eco boost, they could throw in an XLT upgrade. (even though I am one of those guys that HATES the XLT interior)

I used to live in Washington, I understand.

Everyone call your dealership and notify them that Ford has released a new memo.

Ford had allocations for 35% hybrid and took more than double that. A junior engineer can write software that would've prevented that.

Ford has updated their communication about Maverick builds and is giving dealers and customers a chance to change their options.

My Dealer has not seen this new memo or heard of it

The only reason I personally would consider giving up the Hybrid for the EcoBoost would be the ability to add AWD. Unless Ford offers a sweet bundle for EB w/AWD I'll definitely be sticking with the Hybrid.

Has this memo gone out to Canadian dealers?

My guess would be, "no". But what do we know? Ford never says anything in Canada.
As other Canadians have posted: "Unlike in America, Ford Canda does not send out emails." We have too trust our dealers.

I have already canceled my first order and that was for a 2022 hybrid XL rolled over to a 2023. (With no options)
The other kicker was that my order was first placed at a 19, and then after the roll over back to 19 for 2023.
I realized that I was not seeing any vehicle stock coming into my dealer, or turning over. I guessed that they must have a very small allotment. The only other Ford dealer in my city is also owned by the same holding group and has the same problems.
Just my guess, but I was no longer will to wait three years for an order.

I have gone to another city, with a really good dealer and high stock turn over. This time my wife and I have gone over to the "dark side", (LOL) and we have ordered the Eco Boost. The dear was great, he got my new 2023 order back into the price range of the 2022 before the roll over price jump. Plus, we have a priority 10 now and a real time line.

I don't know what you ordered. If you have a hybrid, Ford's capacity to order ratio got worse, likely because of the Cancelled VINs. That means the likelihood of being randomly picked went down, all other factors not considered. IT still comes down to your specific build and your dealer's allocation.

If you ordered an EB, you should be built at some point and I don't think this changes anything. While there might be some people who jump to the EB camp, I"m not sure there will be enough to move the needle a great deal.
