2025 Ford Maverick Order Banks Now Open

[paneubert]

I have placed an order for Maverick XLT hybrid AWD.
I plan to do a final configure later on... am I on the right track? somebody..

You can edit your order without it resetting the order date as long as you do not do major body code changes. For example, don't go from XLT to Lariat. If I recall, 2025 uses different body codes for many more things than in the past (in the past something might have been a package, but in 2025 it has its own body code), so watch out for what might reset the date. You are only really locked down when you get a VIN assigned/a scheduled build week. But even at that point some changes are possible. The one I have seen mentioned as sometime still being possible is the color. But I have also seen where a color change was not accepted. I think the best way to describe it is that once you have a VIN and production week, your dealer can enter changes, but the system sometimes kicks them back/rejects them.

All that being said, 2025 orders aren't going to begin being assigned VINs and build weeks for a while. So if your plan is to edit your order in the next few weeks, very low risk of that being a problem for you. If you planned to edit your order in December, more of an issue (potentially).

And.....if you and your dealer are willing to game the system a bit, even if you did make a big change like going from XLT to Lariat, your dealer can use a better priority code on your order if they want to counteract any reset of order date. For example, if they have all their orders at priority 19, they could make you an 18 so that your order is looked at before all their others. The Ford Scheduling system is going to respect the priority code ahead of order dates. So there is some flexibility there to "manage" any "damage" done by editing an order weeks or months after it is placed.

@fordvideoguy There is kind of a little of a catch-22.
Job 2 is usually when Ford takes the opportunity to raise prices. So we wait for a standard feature, but it will most likely cost more to get.

The $300 credit almost fools us into thinking there won’t be a price increase.

Sure would be nice to get in a order before any price increase, but have it wait for Job 2.

Last year there was one price increase in XL in January. It's pretty rare to see one in the fall. I'm just passing on information. If you order a Lariat during job 1 and it gets scheduled, it will not have PTBA and PTHA. The MSRP will have a $300 discount. If you order a job 1 and it doesn't get built until job 2 it will have PTBA and PTHA and you will not see a $300 discount on the MSRP. Is not a $300 price increase for Job 2, it's the current Lariat price to include all Standard features.

Try to throw some things on the order to get it to hold it up if you want but you take that chance that it will get scheduled to be built with those items and price.

@fordvideoguy For the Lariat 2.0, there is currently that Ecoboost discount. Do you know if that is just for now, or expected to be for the entire model year?

Looks like another thing to track when trying to ‘work the system’ to get a Lariat 2.0 with PTBA.

That discount is because the standard motor is hybrid and Ecoboost is cheaper so the order sheet shows a discount.

This sucks.... I just called my sales guy and alerted him ,he is checking with his inventory guys, he believes Tim is correct and so do I . THE BIG QUESTION IS ,can we place an order now and be ahead of the line when Job 2 comes out @fordvideoguy ? I was all set with my Lariat eco boost in Azure grey, with 4k

Orders can't be given a priority 99 (unschedulable) so you are the mercy of hoping it won't get scheduled. If it schedules it will be built without PTBA and PTHA.

Hi Tim ,
Do you have an idea of when to order a lariat to be able to get the trailer pro assist?

It is not hard to hitch a trailer to a maverick but if it is free it seems worth waiting.

November once job 2 order guide comes out. If you order job 1 you will get a $300 discount for not having it.

Thank you so much.

Now I figure out if it is worth $300, lol

Thanks so much for the clarification. I'll just hold off until we know the cutoff.

Thanks for passing on the information.

 

[fordvideoguy]

Would it be possible to have an order put at priority 99 for now, so that an order can go in now? Or is the priority system a little different than it used to be?

Your mention of the F150 Tailgate lead me to the F150 forum and some users ended up doing that back in 2023 for that Tailgate setup.

Thanks again!

No, I asked and orders can only be put in between 03-19.

@fordvideoguy I had me dealer price out a Lariat. It did not show the $300 credit. Is that just being added later, after it is scheduled? Might be tricky if base prices go up and then trying to factor that with price protection.

Thank you so much.

In the end I decided I could live without it. I hardly tow, only once with my ‘22, and a couple times with our Escape. And I am pretty ok with backing up. Never had it before, and none of the XLTs will.
Not sure how much this might matter to you, but w/o it, the volume knob will be closer to you.
And based on how dealers handle figuring out trade-ins, I do not see impacting future trade-in if you don’t have it. They just look to see what similar trims & mileage are listed for at dealers in the area, not nitty gritty details of this or that.

Another way to look at it, to decide it is worth to you: $300 with 8% sale tax is $324. That is $9/mo for $36.

@fordvideoguy . Going in Monday to place my order. Just wondering if my floor mats from my 2022 maverick will fit the 2025? I don't want to buy new ones if these will fit.

PS: Looks like I'll be tuning in to your weekly updates on your live stream again. Very helpful info you gave me in 2021-22 when waiting for my Maverick then.

I've been pretty out of the loop since. Is the waiting any better than it was back then?

Thank you for all you.

That's the conclusion I have reached as well. There are a couple of trailers I pull every once in a while but I find the maverick is easy to hitch. For the reverse there is a lot of set up with the stickers and measurements and doesn't seem like worth the hassle. Thanks for breaking it down by cost.

Agreed, I’m looking at a 2025 Lariat as well. Not sure if I care if this PTBA and HA is on it or not. Have been backing up trailers and farm implements since I was a kid on the farm….dont think this would be useful to me and a bit of hassle to setup as someone mentioned. None of my current CRVs or SUVs had it so I should be fine.

You’re welcome.

I just came across this thread: https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/f...tailgate-handles-any-ideas-what-its-for.52642
There is also a difference in the tailgate handle. I like the non-protrailer one better (which is our current one).

Yeah you definitely don’t need it.
See my post above, the tailgate handle would be different too.
