August Build Date Shipping Update

[meanmanphillip]

I know there are a lot us from August waiting on our trucks to ship, figured I would share the latest information I got from ford chat.
Build date was August 26th esimated arrival September 10-16th obviously that came and went.
New update is that its scheduled to be shipped October 25th with no eta.
I'm Nor-Cal I hope those in the Midwest and East Coast get faster shipping times.

Update from my end too. I have contacted all of the below today, 9/19.

Dealer: I called my dealer this morning. The salesperson gave me an ETA around Oct. 4. He said he thinks it will be sooner than that. My build date is 8/25, so that makes sense from a timeline standpoint.

Ford Chat: The agent in chat said my Mav has been "received by the carrier at the origin plant ramp location." That sounds to me like it's still in Mexico, basically just sitting waiting to be hauled up here.

Maverick Marketing Hotline (800-334-4375): They were super helpful. Also stated the same as the Ford Chat in regard to it being received by the carrier. The latter date of my ETA was 9/15, she stated it said "pending update". The agent was unable to give me a shipping date, said there was none. She said she was going to elevate my case to the logistics team, and actually gave me a case # and all. She said to expect a call back from her sometime this week when they take a look at it.

Kind of interesting, if they do contact me back that would be righteous. My truck was in production 8/24, built 8/25, and is still not shipped according to the Ford Tracker. Unless there was a QC issue, just doesn't make sense why it would sit there so long (as is the case for many of you too). Best of luck to those in the same boat who have been waiting for yours to ship! And I recommend calling that phone # above, they were quite helpful.

I'm curious how much the averted rail strike has slowed things, they stopped shipping cars on the 11th in preparation for it, prior to that I read a report of 12-30 day delays for west coast frieght.

I got a new e-mail from ford today updating me on shipping.
new estimate is October 19, 2022- October 25, 2022.
I'll get a little excited when it actually ships.

Mine was built Aug 23rd. Like many of you, I have no ship date as of this morning.

Yeah not going to lie, after over a year of waiting and the disappointing push backs the excitment is dwindling.

Yeah, for sure. Just hope it runs well without a lot of the problems others have experienced.

Built 8/29 here, still waiting…. As of this writing the Ford tracker still hasn’t updated on mine either and says my maverick is still waiting to ship, Ford chat says the same thing, but the lady on the other end tried to assure me Ford is trying to see if they can up their production and shipping capacities, my dealer called last week and said the truck has shipped and to expect it in early to mid October, but like others on here, I’m at that point where I’ll believe it when I see it lol

Sounds like we're all in the same boat as of today. This is actually the first day of the estimated delivery timeframe I was provided by Ford in my "built" status email (sent 8/26, "built" 8/25).

If it means anything, I was looking around in the Bronco Sport forum yesterday. A bunch of them also built during the same week as us also have the "awaiting shipment" status. So there's many of us wondering what's going on, Mavs and Bronco Sports alike.

Just for fun I checked recently arrived trucks on the west coast via ford inventory tool. I'm assuming everyone built in August should be close to my VIN 80,000 range and earliest VIN I found was in the 65,000 range and the latest was 76,000.
It's not much but gives some idea how far behind we are.

Funny, I've been doing the same for my area near the Great Lakes. My VIN is around 93000, so definitely a little behind.

My VIN is 69,075 its been in production since 8/10,. Built is not complete, dealer is useless, no one can tell me what the hold up is. They just told me a month ago it was back from the body shop.

Hybrid Lariat FE, Rapid Red, only option is the mud flaps. I'm really discouraged since I pre traded my F150 Truck LAST AUGUST!

Interesting thing about that, my dealer has a couple of Mavericks in transit to them listed on their website that have a VIN in the 93000 range

Interesting... maybe mine will be soon then! Just trying to stay positive about the whole thing. I feel like I've watched every Maverick video on YouTube waiting for this truck LOL
