2024 Maverick First Scheduling This Week (8/24/23)! For Production Weeks 10/16-10/30

[Robert C]

Well, this was unexpected! Have my 23 XLT Hybrid scheduled for production next week Aug 28 (9/17/22 order) Just received a text and email for my 2024 Lariat Hybrid with production date. Scheduled for week of October 23rd. This is a new order, not a roll over. Received VIN ending in 30XX. It’s raining Mavericks!

You must be living right. Should buy some lottery tickets.
To get your 23 with any of the options you may have ordered that they are discontinuing for 2024 AND getting
your 24 before any of the 20,000 of us losers still waiting for a 23.
I want to say I'm happy for you.
I want to.

There seems to be two different MY2024 Schedule Build threads?

This one:
https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/f...24-23-for-production-weeks-10-16-10-30.36111/
And then this one:
www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/8-24-23-inaugural-my24-scheduling-email-received-group-emails-now-arriving.36232/

Should they be merged?

I wanted an XL Hybrid to pull behind my RV, all of the information posted and shared on the internet said it was all but impossible to get a 2024 Maverick. So I tried anyway and I had my dealer place my order July 17, 2023. , received conformation from ford July 18 2023 that my order was received and I would get an update in 45 days. Today Aug 24th 2023 I received an order conformation from Ford. My build date is the last week of october. Wow ! was I shocked. Unless I am missing something It looks like this Newbe is going to get a truck. I was planning on 10-12 months before I would get one. I wanted to share and provide hope to others (BTW this is not a rollover I did not have an order prior to placing one in July)

I'm really confused as to what is happening here.
Glad to see somebody is getting an XL hybrid. Really I am.
But why are new 24 orders being built before the same 23s waiting almost a year now?
My god are they running us suckers thru the wringer

Same sentiment and I just posted a thread about it. I got my hopes up when it was announced in July that Ford was implementing a more orderly system for 2024. No shade on the new orders that got scheduled.

Likely their dealer had little to no rollovers and excess allocation so new orders got picked up.

Exactly my point. These asinine "allocations", what an F ed up way to do business. Rig the game and don't tell anyone the rules. God I've come to despise Ford.
They would have to come up with a vehicle that cost nothing and ran on air for me to consider them after this imaginary Maverick.

These asinine "allocations", what an F ed up way to do business. Rig the game and don't tell anyone the rules.

The "rules" are well known. Ford has done a reasonable job working the allocations system for Maverick sales. When demand is so much higher than build capacity, there is NO system that won't seem unfair to some.
But, for those that done their homework about dealers and stayed on top of the system, it has worked out for most of us.
As I have said before, much of this is on Dealers. They knew, especially for the 2023 model year, that they had a limited number of Mavericks that they would get for the model year. Those that put in EVERY order that they got were doing a disservice to many of those customers. I would have had those who put in retail orders sign a document explaining their chances of actually getting a Maverick so there was no BS.
BTW, every major brand of vehicle sold in the US uses an allocation system! Yes, Toyota and Honda for instance. While they don't take orders in the same way, the Dealer also cannot order exactly what and how many of models as they might want. They get an allocation...and from there they can accept all of them or refuse some of them.

How can you believe that Ford has done a reasonable job with this Maverick?
And while the rules may be well known we did not know the numbers when we ordered the 2023 so what's the point.
And how about the tried and true "first come, first serve" ordering system. Would that not be fair?

The "numbers" were known to me when I ordered 9/16/2022. Anyone could look and see how many Mavericks orders were NOT filled for the 2022 model year and based on that I knew getting in early at a Dealer that was likely to get a decent allocation was important. So I asked around and done business with a Dealer that knew what was going on.
It looked like over half of the 2023 orders would not be built. Yet Ford whittled that number way down. I don't know what more they or any manufacturer could have done.
"Tried and true first come, first serve order?" That does not work for a nationwide manufacturer. Why give all those orders to the East Coast on first order day? They have a 3 hour head start on the order banks over the West Coast! Why give a big city dealer that sells a lot of vehicles but screws over customers more Mavericks than the smaller store that takes care of customers that have dealt with them for decades? Makes no sense.
Now first in, first in line for what allocations the Dealer has is GREAT. But at the Dealer only.

You seem to be so entrenched in this dealer system you don't see another way.
And did you say you asked a dealer what their allocations were? Then when he opened his mouth you took that to mean something?
And start the ordering the same moment - whatever coast - but you're coming at it from a dealership perspective - what dealer is going to open at 6 in the morning, right?
I didn't mean that - I'm fantasizing bypassing these dealers altogether.
I know that's pie in the sky and it's not even real or even something to suggest - what you are saying is all true. Look to the dealer, reasearch the dealer, trust the dealer, I know that's the way the world works.
You're right, carry on.

Have a nice day....

 

[RatherBeDrivingaManual]

Still no email but when I messaged Ford chat I got my Vin and scheduled build date.

Anyone have any ideas on when//how to get the private offer?

 

[BlueOval5.0]

Adding BAP to my 2024 rollover not looking like the greatest idea in hindsight

Ditto for me….

While they don't take orders in the same way, the Dealer also cannot order exactly what and how many of models as they might want. They get an allocation...and from there they can accept all of them or refuse some of them.

For MY 23 dealers were going off the allocation formula from MY 22. Ford did not give dealers their allocation number until after the order banks closed, and when they did they then at that point told dealers that the formula had been changed. this is what screwed dealers up and caused dealers to take to many orders. Dealers will take a few more orders than they have allocations for because some builds have constraints on them, so when ford is scheduling they will pass over the ones they cant build and will instead pick the ones they can. this will lead to dealers eventually getting stock units because they will end up with orders that ford cannot build and then have no orders that can be built, but they have allocations. so dealers put in a few extra orders so they will have a variety that ford can pick from.

Ford dealers can handle their allocation and orders like the other brands. ford dealers could wait until they receive their allocation number each month and then submit those orders at that time. but dealers like to have their orders queued up so they don't have top worry about getting the right orders in there and which ones do we choose and so on and so forth. by entering them as they come in, it allows ford to schedule what they can when they can. This also makes sure that everyone's orders are in and no one gets forgotten when scheduling comes around each month.
