Are the delivery estimates accurate? we

[ttheroux]

The Maverick I ordered on 1/8 was built yesterday, 4/19. The delivery estimate to Bob Thomas Ford in Hamden, CT is 5/25 -5/31. Does that sound reasonable? It just seem like a long time to me. You would think that with their manufacturing limitations they would want to get them delivered as soon as possible so they could get their money.

Mine was two weeks later than the estimate. It all comes down to your luck with changeovers between lines in Illinois and length of time from rail yard delivery to truck pickup; to put your heart at ease plan on it being in Illinois for over 2 weeks so that if it’s faster you’re pleasantly surprised. Located in VA.

my dealer gave me 6-8 weeks of delivery as an estimate for southern Massachusetts based on past experience with the maverick. I assume also in your case it will be rail-based.
By the way how long was your vehicle in production? I have min in production since April 15. Maybe some issue with parts for my xlt hybrid lux 360.

I was given an estimated delivery of 4/15 - 4/21 when it shipped on 3/29, however Ford Chat just informed me it's been pushed back to 4/27.

Our delivery estimate was correct 4/12-18 actual delivery 4/15.

This is semi depressing, but true. @fordvideoguy knows LM has no control on how quick or long it takes a CONVOY coded window sticker (car carrier from the KC rail yard to LM) to arrive.

A few months ago I noticed a car carrier parked in an unusual spot on the way to work. as my interest grew the carrier would appear every couple of weeks and sit for DAYS. The first time I called the local Ford GM he was grateful and really surprised that one of the three companies that transport vehicle from KC (it and LM are in the same region) let retail orders sit for FIVE days. This past week it took three days to travel the last ten miles to the dealership.

IMO, the rail transportation is as unpredictable as the Convoy leg of a Maverick's journey.

It is a guess. Our was bulit 3/25 with delivery 4/13-4/19. Our railcar was in Miami ramp on 4/18 and not at dealer yet. Maybe this week…from all I’ve read a crapshoot but roughly a week after estimate is valid For pickup. Good luck

Just got my built email today. I’m in Dallas and the delivery estimate is 17-24 days from now. I know you’re itchin’ to get it. Hang in there!

Mine (Hybrid/Lariat) was build 3/30, with an April 28 to May 3rd ETA at Chapman. Truck arrived in New Castle DE on April 28 and was told by Ford there was a delayed in transit and that my ETA was now May 4 to May 10. Just "checked fords vehicle order status and showed it was delivered today (5/1). Hopefully they will tell me tomorrow it did indeed arrive.
