2024 Wait Time Estimates

[RichardCranium]

Orders I've placed + time to production + time to order

2022 Hybrid - 8/31, picked it up on 5/6 = 9 months
2023 Hybrid - 9/16, currently in route = 12 months.
2024 Hybrid - 6/17 - Scheduled for 10/31 - could see it by 12/1 = 5 1/2 months

My 2024 VIN is 17XX, so I'm probably scheduled the very first week of production.

Essentially, I ordered 'day 1' and it is going to take 5 1/2 months.

If you ordered one today, I have no idea where you would fall in the queue.

How did you win the Maverick Lottery? I was first in line at my dealership, but i don't think that means anything. Allocations is my new favorite swear word right now.

My order saga: On September 17, 2022, just about 355 days ago as I write this, I placed an order for a 23 hybrid Lariat. In mid August 2023 - 3 weeks ago -I received a congratulatory email from Ford with a VIN and a scheduled production date for the week of October 16, 2023 as a '24. Based on the VIN, my Lariat hybrid will be Mav number 3,170 built in 2024. My assumption is that Ford did in fact prioritize old unfilled orders ahead of new orders for the 2024 model as they said they would. I checked the contraint list in a post from yesterday [9/6/23] and none of my options are constrained. Mexican autoworkers labor union solidarity with a UAW strike could change things. Once my 24 is on the dealer's lot I will ask my dealer to log into Smart VINCENT per details from an older video that Tim Bartz of Long McArthur Ford posted to see that I get my private offer which for my model should be $2500. I don't think my order qualified for price protection. My understanding regarding price protection[also visible in Smart VINCENT] is, unlike the private offer, price protection $$ goes to the dealer and it is up to the dealer to pass those $$ along to the customer. I have neither a deposit nor a signed agreement from my small local dealer - just a handshake to sell it to me at MSRP with no dealer installed high markup items. Let me know if my understanding as to price protection and private offers is off base.

You are right on. The private offer for 23 Lariats is $2500. The price protection is for within model year markups. For those of us who ordered Sep of last year if we had received it after January of this year you would have gotten price protection since the price and destination fee went up then. However since the 23's did not get built and a new order was submitted for a 24 (albeit with the same customer name and order number) there is no price protection. So yes private offer, no price protection.

How did you win the Maverick Lottery? I was first in line at my dealership, but i don't think that means anything. Allocations is my new favorite swear word right now.

Man, It has been a ride for sure.

When I first placed my first order, the dealership said I should expect about 3 months (November, December). I had never ordered a new vehicle, so I assumed that was normal and that I would have it by Christmas that year. Keep in mind, this was a new model, and the chip shortage was just starting. Nobody really knew how long, but the dealership was working off of their own history along with what they were being told.

Well, Christmas, New Years and even Valentines came and went. No updates, no emails, nothing. I kind of resolved that it probably wasn't going to happen and had already told my wife that I had given up on it. Then, right around spring break, I got the update that it was starting production. 2 months later, I had it.

That initial wait was the absolute worst. I haven't even thought too much about the 2nd order. I already had a truck and this one will get here when it gets here. The 3rd one I haven't even had time to think about. I got that 'scheduled' email two months after I ordered.

I feel for others who had their order delayed or outright cancelled.

Re: Allocations. My saving grace may have been several factors:
1. I'm in a large city and my dealership sells a 'lot of vehicles'. Maybe that put them high up on the list for allocations.
2. My dealership handles a lot of the stereotypical big trucks. Maybe they didn't have a lot of orders for a 'trucklette'...
3. I won the lottery.

I planned on a year. Today is Day 355 & counting. Currently sitting on a CSX train in Buffalo, NY for the past few days. Hoping to see it by Oct. 1 but who knows. Hard telling, not knowing.

I have a feeling that generally, the wait time for a 24 will be quicker, but there are always exceptions. Someone has to be first and someone has to be last.

Short one week for a year wait. Ordered in September 2022 picked up today. XLT AWD

First in line means nothing. When Ford is scheduling order production, it's mostly Allocation and Constraints.

Depends on whether you ordered an EB or Hybrid.

Congrats. Mine is still sitting in a rail yard in Buffalo NY while CSX builds its consist to West Brookfield MA. Then it will sit there awaiting Hurricane Lee which "may" hit us the end of next week as a Cat 4 or 5. .

People keep saying you'll get your truck and I just say maybe.................

--> Thank you for clarifying.

OP specifically asked about 2024 Mav wait times......so here's another data point

Ordered my EB XLT 4x4 on July 19.
Received Production Schedule on August 24
Scheduled build week of October 23

That's all I know/have at this point.....

I ordered a hybrid Lariat 7/17 at a dealer with no rollovers and the dealer basically said it will be in when it comes in. I'm not in a hurry but would love to have it by spring to tow behind my RV.

Did you order a hybrid? Cause they say you should not tow the ecoboost behind an RV (flat tow) do to transmission issues.

FWD Ecoboost gasoline model. Ford warns that flat towing the FWD Ecoboost model will result in transmission damage. [See our glossary for an explanation of some of these terms]. However the FWD model can be towed on a dolly.

I was just wondering to anyone who's ordered a 2024 Maverick, what were the typical wait estimates you got from your dealer? Six months? One year? Year and a half? Undetermined? I figure with Ford raising the prices across the board to dwindle demand, that would translate to an increase in production and more Mavericks showing up on dealer lots. Or I could be wrong. I'm aware that there's several 23 and even 22 rollovers that have to be fulfilled first (at least in theory) Some input would be great. I enjoy the Maverick so much that I want another one but with the added FX4 package. I'm also thinking a different color. The Atlas Blue has been growing on me. Or maybe Hot Pepper Red. I can't decide if I want to order another one or try to scour a 2023 on the lot at some point.

I ordered my 2022 Maverick Hybrid Lariet in 2021 Sept and ended up being rolled into 2023 model in receiving mine at the end of Feb 2023

6-18 months sounds about right!! Dealers have no idea......there is really no way to know. It all depends on allocation and constraints. And what % of their allocation is taken up by rollovers.

What to we know? 24 Maverick production starts in mid-October 2023, and is set to continue into December 2024. Add a month (or two) for shipping, and that is the time-frame your 24 Maverick could be delivered to your dealership in!
