Anyone still waiting? Maverick build?

[MM Mav]

@MAVRICKDAVE I am aware of the reported order bank opening date, along with the planned MY changeover. I'll have some decisions to make down the line. Until then, I wait, especially with interest rates what they are.

True that !

No joke . they are base models mostly. And even a few hybrids are only 3 k over msrp . Central Ohio. HOWEVER! I did not check all the adds to see if they were real cars. If you know what I mean. Some dealers are clever about their deception.

So they aren't really sitting on lots. Dealers have been advertising cars they don't have forever so they can try to sell you something else.

To be fair, Ford lists it in the dealer inventory as soon as it is technically in their inventory. Sales manager at my dealership actually hates it because it creates a lot of unwanted calls as most people are pissed off the Maverick isn't there and accuse the dealership of just listing it to get people on the lot to sell something else. The dealership would rather not have it listed at all but they have no control over that.

There are others who've waited longer than me. @Xbbqpitmaster is on day 660 something.

In regards to my dealer, I ordered through Granger Ford in IA when they had their $3k below MSRP offer. They had 80 some odd 2022 orders that were rolled over to 2023 and took no new orders for 2023. They've said they have allocations to fill all outstanding orders. I'm waiting to win the scheduling lottery.

I gave up on Ford… just purchased a 2023 Kia Seltos…. I have just under 200 miles and it is showing me almost 30 mpg overall. Nice suv for a small/midsize SUV, lots of room.

My Maverick is currently in shipment (in Texas today), but is not listed on my dealer's website. However, the site does list other new trucks in inventory (F-150's, etc.) and clearly identifies the ones that are still in transit. So this apparently indicates that my dealer does not advertise retail orders that are not for sale to the general public, for which I am grateful.

wow. unreal sorry man

sorry for what? I've had my Maverick 5 months already. I made some compromises purchasing it and been waiting to see if another vehicle comes along that has less, or none of the compromises I made. The new Ranger has been rumored since 2018 when we bought our new F-150. The point I was making was the new Ranger looks imminent for unveil/release within weeks now. Early unconfirmed features and specs look promising for me, and my dealer indicated they would like to have my Maverick back in trade if I order Ranger from them. THEN they would have their very 1st Maverick to show and sell. Mine is like new with only 550 miles on it and I know fair trade in value for it so if they really want it they'll give me fair value and could be a win-win for both sides.

The only reason I wanted the hybrid Mav was to be able to flat tow behind my motor home and a place to carry my e-bike. There is plenty of room behind the rear seat to fold the bike and lay it flat back there. I will just have to tow dolly the car…

In the past several months, there have been exactly ZERO Mavericks listed on local dealer websites that could be purchased at MSRP. All of the ones shoring MSRP are private orders. The ones that are actually for sale are typically MSRP+$5K for Ecoboost, and MSRP+$10K for Hybrids. And there have been more than a few USED Mavericks being sold at those same markups, as if they were brand new cars!

Paid $100 for lightning wait-list on 12/6/2021 . Just got notification I can order it. Up till now I thought the XL started at $40k. When I go to place my order with Ford it starts at $62k. In 2021 and 2022 on Ford website I can build a Lighting and it would price me at $40k plus upgrades. My Ford dealership ...crossroads apex NC told me I could get Lightning for $40k if I ordered 17 trucks. That's simply deceptive advertising.

I ordered Maverick Sept. 2022. 1st morning that ordering was available. I ordered XL hybrid. Still waiting. Dealership tells me to expect to wait a year or more. And they have no idea when I can expect it. So no info from the Dealership.

Ford - if you can't build them, don't take the orders. Ford is losing customer loyalty fast. I've owned Ford vehicles for 32 years. The market is going to catch up with Ford

I've noticed that there seem to be Mavericks on local lots for MSRP. Have we finally reached the top of the curve ? Just wanted to know if anyone is still waiting for a build date?

YES

I haven’t even gotten a VIN yet for mine, ordered last September.
