Has been pretty reliable and accurate even thou he is from Canada. Very similar to Tim Bartz, @frodvideogy without the large number of orders of @LongMcArthur Ford.

Significantly more long winded though lol i find his videos too annoying. I just wait here for someone to give me the TLDR lol

Yes it's a bit more talking with Maddie there, who has only been there twice as he has been sick this month and know it's a cold and not Covid since he took 4 covid tests.

Does talk about the 3 month delays will be walked back for some, not all*. That the quality at the plant is very good and not the one shut down. Rags on the way the reliability studies ask and mark questions. Sometimes the issue is with the phone but never the less that a knock on the info entertainment center before the software patch should not be scored the same way as engine failure.

Also that he talked his wife into the XLT Lux from the XL and she now is driving his Bronco Sport and the both love it. Mentions how cruise control was not offered on the XL and then about finding a used steering wheel from the junk yard and warning about the airbag going off.

Talks production numbers and the difference between about 7.5k built and 6.5k sold and 54% hybrids. How the production numbers will go down to about 6k in May due to the chip shortage. The plan by end of March to have all summer orders scheduled to be built. Then goes on to say March/April because of the delays.

Goes on that 2/3 of orders are Mavericks but if the build is at 50% then 25% of those hybrids keep getting delayed. When will my Maverick be built and does say no one knows but then gives his best guess.

Mentions not to push dealers about changes and losing your place in line.

Talks about getting the best price when ordering. Now you can't get an order until MY23 and they don't know the price but feels that except the XL the price will go up $500 to $800. Plus more.

*If you look at Tim Bartz
FORD MAVERICK DELAYS AND CHIP SHORTAGE
thread that is the case with some being built now.
