23's may go quickly

[MrCigar]

Just spoke to my friend who is the internet sales manager at a fairly high-volume dealer here in CA. He already has ten orders on his desk awaiting submittal when things open and the phone has had heavy traffic all morning. Stated that several more customers have come in this morning to order.

If this holds true across the country the order banks for the 23 model year may close up pretty quickly. Even though there has most certainly been frustration with wait times, pushbacks, communication etc., FORD has really hit it out of the park with this truck.

Good luck to those ordering today.

I put my order in and tipped the ordering guy to put mine in at 2:30 MDT.

A little bribery can go a long way!

Very very informative post.....

How much bribe did you give?

Talked to my dealer 5 min ago about my order and it’s shipping issues, he said he is swamped with new orders people are trying to get and people rolling over

My dealer guy said they have about 200 new orders to place.

You guys should know from MY22 scheduling that getting your order in 2 minutes earlier than someone else means absolutely nothing. There were people who got Mavericks they ordered in January 22 and people who got rolled over that ordered in September 21.

Just make sure you order before they close the banks. The rest is really beyond your control.

Absolute truth...I happen to be an example of the above, I ordered last day banks were open and scheduled for production next week while others getting pushed which had way previous orders, which stinks.

I wanted to post this thread for those new to the forum that may be considering a Maverick to get the order in, let the rest wash out as the chaos ensues.

Undisclosed. Let's just say it wasn't much but he was super grateful. You just need to know what the person really likes.

At least you made someone happy. It won't help you at all since scheduling is well beyond his control.. but doing a nice thing for someone is always good.

I'm waiting now for two dealers to call me that I've been working with to get my order in. Hopefully I hear from them soon. It baffles me how some of you are able to get your orders already submitted and dealers in my area (DC/Maryland region) have yet to call back and I've been on them for weeks. Hopefully I hear something from them today

Totally agree, just playing the odds.

You need to find a dealer who wants your business. Selling Maverick at MSRP only nets the salesperson $200. Yes, two hundred dollars. Granted, it's 15 minutes of paperwork and data entry for $200 but they're not making a lot of money on these trucks unless they're selling over MSRP.
