Never got a scheduled email, received an email last night at midnight (PST) that my maverick is built and should be shipped between october 7th and 13th.

I think my mistake was ordering from a dealer that has 400 orders. Might never get scheduled

My order was from a dealer where mine is the only one. So I don't think it's that either. Luckily I don't need the vehicle yet.

Didn't see many lux hybrids in the thread. Mostly lux ecoboost. That's still a good sign that they're able to build the lux though!

Even if they get 50 builds a month it going to take 8 months to get them all.

Demoralizing to see ppl that scheduled

I'm having the same thoughts

My dealer only had 15 but he put priority code 19 on all of them and I think that has us scheduled last. I don't understand why he wouldn't put 10.

That probably helps you since they may have 400 orders but they also get double digit allocations could be a dealer with a few orders that gets no allocations so nothing gets scheduled.

ordered 8/22. Lariat lux. Very surprised!

 

[vabchusa]

I didn't see any Rapid Reds in the builds today

The dealer can pick up allocations from the month that other dealers can’t fill. You still have a good chance

You both referenced 'stock' - my question/reply is related to whether your dealers placed your order as a 'stock' order, if you are just using the word generically. Ford orders are either 'stock' (meaning a dealer order) or 'retail' (meaning a custom customer order). If your orders are truly stock dealer orders, you'll be waiting until next year.

I assume you were both probably referencing stock generically. If that is the case, posting that 'I ordered an XLT Hybrid' in June won't help anyone here in providing you insight into why you haven't been picked. I'm guessing your 'basically' stock XLT Hybrid orders included some random accessories - if you added anything like floormats, mudflaps, protective film, tonneau, bed liner or spray - you're going to be waiting longer than others that didn't order those items. But we don't know, because you haven't posted your complete order details!

If you truly ordered an XLT Hybrid with no options, then dealer and regional allocations could also be to blame. I am sure that scheduling and building vehicles is a rather complex set of calculations done by a dedicated team, and that they are not skipping over your orders for no reason!

Let me rephrase. I ordered/confirmed an XLT Hybrid Area 51 with a trailer hitch. (This is a stock XLT generically, not a "stock" order from the dealer, some have even called it the XLT Poverty edition). My dealer won't tell me where I am in line, how many allocations they have for this month or even if my truck is or isn't previewing at the beginning of the week. I'm not mad at my particular salesperson, but I hate not having information. Seeing hybrids now being pulled for build that have been ordered after me is frustrating to say the least. And no, beyond the trailer hitch, I haven't added a single thing to the "xlt poverty" Area 51 Hybrid.
