Response to "guess what".......No I didn’t get an email. I suppose a logical question to ask is - when I talked to Ford over a week ago, she checked her data and confirmed I was in the system - but still have never received any response from Ford - so what does “ I’m in the system" actually mean? Should I just cool it and wait - or should I keep knocking on somebody’s door until I get an “official” response? If I do nothing now, will I eventually get a vehicle? I am beginning to question the sanity of even doing this.

Absolutely, it isn't logical to me how they do it. I can never understand why they don't do FIFO.
First in first out on orders for builds as complex as the Mav, and with the current supply constraints, would effectively delay the vast majority of all orders (i..e., we'd all be waiting on a few people who aren't removing their bedliners).

Ordered early July. Cancelled early October(today). The wait was killing me and my old car. One less Hybrid order to worry about now. I look forward to seeing Mavericks on the road. Good Luck.

At first I suspected my dealer had failed to do things properly. I now know that this is Ford’s fault. They set up a system and told us how it was supposed to work. It isn’t working. Having a possibly-uneducated dealership as a middleman can make things worse. I can accept possible screw-ups in the actual production and availability of the vehicles themselves during the current supply crisis, but other than possible employee issues, there is little excuse for a semi-functioning information system. If it isn’t working, they should change it. If you are just adding a vehicle to your family inventory, the communication problems may just be an irritation. If you are making a change from your current vehicle - in my case it’s my work vehicle - it’s a different story. I have to sell my current vehicle and also arrange for a bit of financing. I need information to be able to implement a plan. As I said...just an acknowledgement from Ford that, I AM IN THE SYSTEM, tells me nothing! I don’t even know what that means. Unfortunately, the poor state of the mid-size market at present makes the MAV the best choice for me right now, so here I am, stuck in this cloud of uncertainty, and there’s very little comfort in just knowing I share the boat with thousands of others. Ford should be re-working their information system to allow buyers to remain informed, regardless of the hiccups that exist in the supply chain. As long as we know what’s going on we can find ways to deal with it.

Sam I can not believe you have not been scheduled yet. I was hoping very soon to see you on your youtube channel doing a review of your truck. PS I like watching your youtube videos on the Ford Maverick.

If Ford gave me a delivery date should I be happy or ignore it?
I would be happy. :) Some dealers and consumers have reported getting their truck 1-3 weeks earlier than the delivery date given by Ford...

I understood it as FIFO for buildable orders, not FIFO for all orders. Like this post said:
It would be better if Ford just did a FIFO system even if you skip an early order due to constraints
I picture it as lining up all the orders by order date and picking off the buildable ones as you go down the list.

There are other problems with that (regional shipping issues come to mind) but complexity and constraints aren't among them.
