Anyone who placed an order in 2021 still waiting for their Maverick?

I placed my original order on 11/7/21. It was cancelled and converted to a 2023 order on 9/6/23, but the dealer advised me to leave off the tonneau cover and spray-in bedliner.

The truck arrived at the dealer Friday. I went down to pick it up with my 17-year old daughter who had never even been in a car dealership before. We got there at 4:30 pm which we thought would be plenty of time for the 20 minute drive from the dealer back to the ferry home at 8:20 pm.

When they presented me with the price, the MSRP was a couple thousand higher than the ORIGINAL 11/21 MSRP, even without $1600 worth of bedliner and tonneau cover. I asked the sales guy what they were going to do about that. Here's how the conservation went.

Sales Guy: Shrugs, says "Ford sets the MSRP, it's out of our hands."
Me: "The S stands for Suggested. You can sell it for whatever you want. Ty (another sales guy) just told me that if I didn't take it home he was going to add $5k to the MSRP and sell it to someone else today."
SG: Shrugs
Me: "I heard that Ford is offering an incentive for buyers with really long waits".
SG: "I don't know anything about that. Let me check with my sales manager."
ME: waits 5 minutes
SG: "You were right. Ford is offering you a $2750 discount off MSRP."
ME: "Thanks, but you didn't know anything about that and weren't going to offer it unless I asked?"
SG: Shrugs, "Do you have any other questions?"
ME: "Is Ford offering any other incentives that you won't offer unless I ask about them first?"
SG: Shrugs, "I don't know"
ME: Daughter pokes me and reminds me to ask, "Does Ford offer incentives for first responders?"
SG: "I don't know. Let me check with my sales manager." Goes away.
Daughter: "WTF? What is the purpose of this sales guy? Is this how you buy cars? This is stupid!"
ME: "Don't get me started, but I'm glad you get to witness this idiocy."
SG: 5 minutes later, "Yes, Ford does offer incentives for first responders. No, I can't accept your ID card, we have to go through a verification process at id.me"
ME: "OK". Goes through process. 15 minutes later comes up with an email from Ford with a certificate number offering $500 off a vehicle purchase.
SG: "Do you have any other questions?"
ME: "Same question. Is there anything else you're not telling me?"
SG: Shrugs

We ended up with $3250 off and my daughter learned firsthand how silly the car sales process is.

I forgot the part where the finance person tried to sell us an option that would fill the tires with nitrogen. I started to tell her that the atmosphere was already 78% nitrogen but then realized we would never make the ferry back home. She had already wasted precious seconds reaching for her calculator after saying, "Let's see, 12 + 12 is....." Not kidding.

I know every Ford dealer is different and your mileage may vary. Just make sure you ask about every discount you can think of. I wish I'd had a list because I bet I missed something.

Shrugs,

So many stories of hassles that we've gone thru. So sorry you too had to go thru the same crap. Good luck with your Mav.

I was tired of the wait since October 20, 2021 so messaged my dealer with some changes last week. He said he could not change it as production is scheduled for 21 March. Suprise to me as I have heard nothing since December 2021. I had gone down that road of week scheduled and changed over and over last year. Sure would like to actually get my Maverfick scheduled, produced and shipped to me.

At least you have a builddate, ordered similar Maverick to yours same time and not schedule yet and so no VIN

I was told by phone Rep it's F##### from dealer printout ?
dealer texted to say it's waiting in rail yard about 200 miles from here

I ordered the exact same day, what a coincidence! I have heard nothing since October last year. Guess I'm left out in the cold again. Good luck on your new truck!! I'm moving on!!

It has been a rough ordering process with discrepancies.
Yep...I fully understand your loss.
Best wishes amigo!
