I have a very similar situation and I agree.Allocations are BS...there I said it. So to be able to get a Maverick in a timely manner in my situation I have to travel several hours just to get to a dealership with lots of allocations vs being able to buy from my local small dealer that is great to work with near by. Where I live they sell more big trucks vs small vehicles so they get screwed on the allocation algorithm when it comes to mavericks. They had 12 orders placed last Sept mine was one of them and they have had 2 built in that time. At that rate i may get mine by 2026 or later because the only way to get private offer is to stay with the original dealership. The ordering and car buying process is more convoluted than it has to be.
Edit to add: I know I'm not the only one in this situation, just frustrated with it.
I don't think it is punishing the dealers. If anything, it isn't saddling them with inventory that won't sell. If economy cars don't sell in that market, there is no reason for Ford to send them.I have a very similar situation and I agree.
I ordered a 23MY from a small, rural dealer with a great reputation on 9/17/22. Several months ago I realized that they may never get an allocation for my Maverick because they are mostly a Powerstroke dealer. Before I ordered the 24MY I asked them how many of their 23βs didnβt get delivered but they declined to give me that information.
The allocation system seems like a self fulfilling prophecy. Donβt sell many Mavericks or other economy vehicles, we give you less to sell. No soup for you. As a result the dealer gets less economy vehicles to sell every month.
On the surface it seems like Ford is punishing the dealers but ultimately itβs the customers who are paying the price, in my opinion.
Congratulations in getting your hybrid scheduled 14 days after ordering! I may have run up to Bob Tomes Ford in Mckinney and put in an order
