I have always heard that a priority 10 is the best you can expect for a new order. I was originally a priority 19 and after 3 months I asked the dealer to change the priority code. They did change it to a priority code 10, but so far that has not helped speed up the process.
I'm a Priority Code 19 and my Maverick is currently under "Production" status. Two individuals who I have spoken with that ordered from the same dealership I did, have yet to be scheduled. Go figure...
The other orders probably have some weird constraint item on their order. If they have the mudflaps on their build, that's probably what's preventing them from being scheduled.
I think the base XL is the problem as the profit is low and Ford is building the more expensive ones first. It seems like they have plenty of Ecoboost capacity so your truck will be built by summer.
I guess I'm still unclear about priority codes. So for example, 2 dealers with allocations - one at priority 19, the other (dealer) at priority 11, both vehicles get built all constraints being equal?
As you stated regarding the constraints, I doubt anyone with some form of common sense would order a Maverick with mudflaps. In my opinion, anyone who does have the audacity to order their Maverick with mudflaps, should be required to wait until 2027, at the earliest.
You will likely see your sticker tomorrow or Wednesday. They've been posting them recently right at one week prior to actual build date...not always, but more than not recently. Good luck!
Yes, it does not matter from dealer to dealer only priority codes within a dealership. If you are a priority code 12 but there is an 11 in front of you at the same dealership, that 11 will be looked at before your 12. If the 11 has no constraints to hold up the build, it will get scheduled ahead of yours. If the 11 has heavy constraints, they (Ford) will look at the next priority code (your 12) within that dealership. It has nothing to do with priority codes at other dealerships. Only your dealership and allocations within your dealership. For instance, in the PC 11/12 I just described, if your dealer has two allocations for that month, Ford will look at the next two priority code orders (the 11 and your 12) and if no constraints, they'll likely schedule both.
Exactly - I am a Lariat with LUX ...so if profit played that much of a a role, I would be built before XLs.......but nothing yet ...I am realizing it is just an allocation game, and it is still early in the production window for 23s so I am not gnashing my teeth .........yet...........even though I am very excited for a new truck.
Right on! I'm a first day MY23 Lariat Lux hybrid and it's almost here. My dealer (small dealership) had one rollover (PC 10) and I was next at PC 11. Dealership allocations and priority codes are important but you are spot on to remember that many, not all, of the first couple months of MY23 were trying to finish the "rollovers". Again, not all, but many! Good luck!
