🗓️ Maverick Scheduling Retails & Fleet Only This Week (5/25/23)

[cavemold]

Dealer stock.

Retail = Reserved private customers (us)
Fleet = Commercial customers (Uhaul, etc.)
Dealer Stock = Goes to dealer's parking lot for FCFS.

Priorities usually go: Retail, Stock, Fleet but Ford is basically saying they are not scheduling for stock at this time.

With bank about to close that makes sense.

Why should they schedule any units for stock when they have 10's of thousands of sold trucks not yet built.

To fill out the production line and fill allocations. If dealer has 20 allocations but only 15 retail orders that can be built, Ford will fill out the other five allocations with stock orders to make sure the production line is kept at 100%.

That's why we say allocation is king. Ford will not move those allocations over to another dealership; they will simply build stock trucks for the dealership that earned them to begin with.

Here's hoping some of us on team XL get some good news this week!

Nice looking kit there pbrox

It'd be pretty funny if my XL Hybrid gets scheduled this week as I just bought a Kia Niro PHEV today and also cancelled my hybrid order. I'm at peace though as I really like the new Niro PHEV, so far.

In January my wife took delivery of a 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV and really likes it. More tech than she knows how to use. I am however keeping my Mav Hybrid order.

Good for the dealer, bad for the consumer who is waiting on an order.

Finally gave in and bought a Ranger after not getting scheduled again. At this point I'll be slightly annoyed if I actually get scheduled Thursday.

Lol, you'll have company, there have been several on here who broke down and bought something and YUP, then got scheduled! Ya'll should form a club. Or wait...maybe that's the KEY to getting scheduled?!

No XL limitation this week.

Yes xl and white

I emailed my salesperson last week after not getting a production email, asking about allocations for this month (since he told me they got *none* for the month of April).
He still hasn't responded.
I truly regret walking into that dealership. Had good reviews, but my experience certainly doesn't align with them.

Same story for me... My dealer was nice enough taking my order last year, however, nothing but deflection every time I've asked about their actual allocation situation and the likelihood of getting my XL Hybrid. Asked again last week and added the scheduling "no XLs" info as well as XL/XLT/Lariat production breakdown images, radio silence.

Yes xl and white

XL is limited and so is hybrid. I am not in desperate need, but starting to look at other options in case my truck is not scheduled.

Lol my thought process was when/if my Mav ever comes in I can make a decision then whether to keep the Ranger or trade it in for the Mav. Like a lot of us on here, I don't want to go the whole summer without a truck

Hoping this is better than average clean-up scheduling. They scheduled 10K last week but they can produce that many with 2 shifts. Hoping for 2000 to 4000 more scheduled for July with the 3rd shift.

They can make that many with 2 shifts, but they haven’t been.

They can make that many with 2 shifts, but they haven’t been.

They did last year and pretty close in March, only 351 short of 10K. April the plant was shutdown a week for holidays. I'm guessing the May numbers will look good.

if it gives you an idea
Ordered two hybrids from two different dealerships in town. I picked that two that had a decent reputation and $0 deposit.

Hybrid XLT with 360 and power inverter for the wife.
Hybrid XL with 360, power inverter, spray in bedliner, D link bed connectors for myself.

Got an email for the XLT hybrid last week, build date 7/24/23
Called my Hybrid XL dealer today to make sure it was ordered under COVP, he said yes, but nothing scheduled.
