Good point, as it is my first Ford. (Currently driving a 2012 outback)
What crazy reservation fee? I paid a fully refundable $500 deposit when I ordered, but nothing to reserve.People that paid crazy reservation fees ha e to be pissed
I believe the Ford has said Fall 2021. IIRC Fall runs until the Winter solstice on Dec 21st and I haven't seen any messaging from Ford to the contrary. I think we can start to question Ford's communication after that time.
We’re all just anxious to get our Mavericks. Patience is very hard. It’s not Fall yet, so Ford hasn’t broken any promises. Speculation is why this forum exists in the first place; and much of that is just guessing. So running down Ford because they’re not doing what WE want is a little counter productive. There are all kinds of of parts, machinery and people that have to go together to make a new vehicle, we have to be patient and hopefully that patience will be rewarded with quality trucks.
it's funny how things change over time. had you been here 3 months ago there was a vocal minority of people who claimed the Maverick was cancelled- even had 1 guy said his local dealer told him so! Other people said they hoped the reveal and launch would be better than it was for new Ranger bc they NEVER saw any advertising whatsoever (that wasn't true either). Several people shit on Ford for letting Hyundai get the jump on them with Santa Cruz and OWN the compact truck market!
These are just the emotions you go through on the consumer side when you are an early adopter. A company isnt going to give a range on when you should expect your truck until it has shipped. Human nature will only hear the earliest date given and forget there was the word around. When the earliest date comes all the company gets back is bad reviews saying YOU TOLD ME IT WOULD BE HERE TODAY. When that wasnt even close to realityit's funny how things change over time. had you been here 3 months ago there was a vocal minority of people who claimed the Maverick was cancelled- even had 1 guy said his local dealer told him so!

And I'm not seeing/sensing any Last Minute Chaos either, just a fairly normal new product launch cycle.
Old Ranchero: I still in the midwest (MO) have not seen any prime network ads on the Mav. Seen any in your area?it's funny how things change over time. had you been here 3 months ago there was a vocal minority of people who claimed the Maverick was cancelled- even had 1 guy said his local dealer told him so!

No, and not really expecting to yet. They made a marketing decision to go digital advertising 1st and used a popular celebrity spokesperson on-line to spur interest. Speaks to the age categories they are targeting. I'd expect more traditional advertising once units are shipping and we get some holidays in 2022 to advertise sales deals with inventory on lots. Maybe some tie ins with NFL season too?
There's no such thing as a reservation fee. All reservations were free.People that paid crazy reservation fees ha e to be pissed
