Well folks, I never thought it would happen to me, but I am now the proud owner of a 2022 Maverick. At 329 days from order to delivery, it sure felt like a loooong wait. However, I know I'm actually one of the "lucky" ones by standards of this forum.

I could go on and on, but suffice it to say I am thrilled with the truck. It was a cold, gray day in Pennsylvania and the heated seats and steering wheel on the XLT Luxury package are a godsend! I drove home in the dark and my favorite feature so far is auto high beams -- they worked like a charm! Honestly, haven't even had much of a chance to really explore this thing yet. I have a pile of mods lined up, but that's more fun for other days.

For now, I just want to give a shout out to Sales Manager Bill Kammetler, Salesman John "Caveman" McDaniel and the whole crew at Koch 33 Ford in Easton, Pa. Christmas Day will mark exactly 11 months from my order date, and over nearly a year, Bill was great at answering my questions, handling order changes (adding the 4K Tow Package and switching from Hot Pepper Red to Cactus Gray) and MOST IMPORTANTLY, honoring every financial commitment he made on the day I placed my order. Koch 33 honored price protection, incentive protection and interest rate protection. I was able to buy the truck for $850 below MSRP and get 1.9% for 60 months via Ford Credit. The finance process was low pressure; some talk about an extended warranty, but no hard sales tactics. I walked out with all my paperwork and exactly the monthly payment I expected going in. Well done, guys, and I'd be happy to do business with you again anytime.

Here are a few obligatory photos for your viewing pleasure. I think it's pretty easy to figure out which one of the dealership employees "Caveman" is!

And finally, she's at her forever home, safely tucked in for the night! (Note how different the Cactus Gray is in the garage vs. on the lot. The green hues really stand out in natural light. In dim light it just looks plain gray. I like the versatility!)

Congrats! The more I see Cactus Gray it makes me glad I changed my '23 order from Iconic Silver to CG with the BAP.

Congrats man! Good luck. Sounds like you got a great deal! I'm still waiting for a price protection check from my dealer. Got mine early Nov.

now that you've taken delivery, you can move on from the 'Airing of Grievances' part, and perhaps begin the 'Feats of Strength'.
Yes! Need to put doing "truck stuff" on the agenda!

Congrats! Sure it was a long wait but trust me, it'll be well worth it. I've already had mine for almost 10 months and it's a treat to drive. It's comfortable, easy to park/maneuver, good-looking, has plenty of tech, great on gas, and so far has been knock on wood. It was also the first vehicle I've ever special-ordered and gave me the opportunity to get exactly what I want instead of compromising. I hope you forever enjoy your Maverick as I will with mine. Thanks for posting!

Congrats. No coal for you. Now we just need festivus for the restofus.
Well, did you put up your pole? How will Ford know where to park your Mav if you don't put up your pole?

Congratulations, I will actually be picking my Maverick up tomorrow as well after what will be a 465 day wait. I was extremely excited when I was sent a picture of it on the car carrier this morning.
