Is picking up the vehicle at the factory an option? - I think ford should sell direct or at least have the option to buy direct - this might wake up these pretentious dealerships I’m tired of paying for under performance and incompetence…

Mine was built 2/25 and still hasn't shipped...

No. Ford is a mass-market producer, with a dealership network that is more than a century old.

I understand that - I visited 5 different dealerships prior to purchasing my 2025 Lariat AWD Hybrid - I found that most of the salespeople knew less about their products or inventory than I did and couldn’t answer the simplest questions or tried to wing it with BS so basically paper pushers to earn a commission only to have a sales manager try and recover a possible deal if the potential customer looks like they will walk while throwing their incompetent salesperson under the bus - I guess all Mavericks will eventually sell so loyalty and repeat business is less important since they probably won’t be working there in the longterm…

Sorry about your experiences, Dave. The dealer I went with is pretty solid. No BS yet, just straight answers. My rep even corrected my assumptions about the tailgate lock and made sure my build was what I wanted.

It’s awesome when you find the right dealer I had to travel almost 100 miles north of me but found them they are smaller and family owned and my experience was pretty amazing

Well, picking up at the factory is not an option with Ford.

Come on baby, get across that border!

I deal with a small town third generation Ford dealer and when I say small I mean small. The town is approximately 1,000 people. I’ve been buying cars there for 30 years. When I asked about the tariff in January, the dealer said “We’ll take care of you. This is why you deal with a small town dealer”.

No need to worry about the tariffs...you are price protected if you have a signed sales agreement (DORA).

Huh? I just checked the site, and my status is back to "Order Confirmed?"

I hope it's just a site glitch.

Maybe the image loaded from cache?

Perhaps (but the dates are included in the latter screencap.) To verify, I checked with a browser I rarely use, and it's back to normal.

Note that all of the dates weren't available from a screenshot I took in January...
