I ordered a EB XLT AWD 4K with drop in liner on 8/29. Do you think that I will get a build date this year?

It would be great it Ford would communicate if your order is held by selected features. I want the modular bedliner but I don't want to hold the order for it.Ordered last week 9/8/23 2024 EB XLT 2wd with the tow package and luxury package and was told 6-8 months by my dealer. All I have from Ford so far is an email with a thank you for ordering and we will get back to you with an update in 45 days.
I'm basically in the same boat with my stock XLT 07/16/22 order. Nothing down, and an agreement with theMy 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.
so I am pretty much in the same situation as Oscarcat. Ordered my XLT stock Hybrid from Mullinax Ford in Vero Beach 09/16/2022 with no down payment and a agreement my price would be what MSRP was the day I ordered it. Tim the Ford guy said have them pull the order sheet to show what the price was from the day they ordered it, and that's the price we should pay for my24 rollover. Also can someone explain the private offer. How does that work ?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.
Keep in mind that they did not do rollovers this year. They made a new order for you for a 24. Your MSRP would be based on the price at the time of the new 24 order. The private offer is an instant rebate that is provided by Ford for you agreeing to re-order a 24 since your 23 order didn't get built and got cancelled. The private offer will be applied to your order when you go to pick it up and should get you close to what MSRP was for last year. The private offer amount is based on whether you ordered a XL, XLT, or Lariat and whether it was a Hybrid or Ecoboost last year (23).I'm basically in the same boat with my stock XLT 07/16/22 order.

Yup, I ordered a hybrid. ThanksDid 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.
Thanks for the info. I ordered a stock XLT Hybrid. I hope the dealership is honest with me. The sales Manager said I would pay the 23 price. This was before it rolled over to a 24. I hope they don't try to weasel me out of a private offer.Keep in mind that they did not do rollovers this year. They made a new order for you for a 24.

You should get the private offer. It is in your name and doesn't cost the dealership anything to apply to your order. After applying this to your order it should be close to 2023 MSRP. Maybe even lower in your case since the XLT Hybrid offer was $3400.Thanks for the info. I ordered a stock XLT Hybrid. I hope the dealership is honest with me.

Fresh 24. When I went to the dealership I was just thinking about looking at one. Test drove one on the lot and was like... ya let's order it. I didn't even know there was a small window to order. I lucked out I guess.would that be a roll over 2024 or a fresh 2024?![]()
So an update to my previous comment... my build date was the week of 11/27/23. I received a text yesterday saying it was delayed. New build date is week of 11/20/23......... if that's a delay, I will take all the Ford delays they want to give me!!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.
Millinex is amone of the better dealers out there. I hope it works out.Thanks for the info. I ordered a stock XLT Hybrid. I hope the dealership is honest with me.
