Can Ford Actually Build All These MY22 Mavericks?

[pa-outdoorsman]

Maverick production ought to get really "interesting" between now and the end of the year. Based on everything I see on this forum, it seems typical for people to be bumped back 4-5 week from the original build date until their truck finally goes into production.

I just got scheduled this week for the week of 11/7, which is SUPPOSED to be the final week of MY22 Maverick production. However, considering that multiple push back are common, what are the odds Ford actually finishes MY22 Maverick production the week of 11/7? Let's just say I wouldn't bet big money on it.

And if they CAN'T get all the VINs they've assigned built by then, how long do they extend My22 production? I mean, at that point there will only be 7 weeks left in the calendar year. Ford can't build MY22 Mavericks in calendar year 2023!

Finally, what does all this mean for MY23 Mavericks? Will Ford again delay opening of order banks? Or will they. just delay the time before they actually start scheduling and building 23s?

Good questions. I have seen a lot of the last minute scheduled trucks (11/7) that people have posted with CP360 and the luxury package. Those were, of course, the things that were supposed to have prevented scheduling in the last few weeks of production (particularly the luxury package).

I would imagine they wouldn't be scheduling them if they didn't think they could build them, but I wouldn't really be surprised to see the trucks built and then being stuck at the factory on chip holds.

I believe, based on my reading here, that most of the orders that are getting bumped week after week are hybrids.

It should be interesting.

Well, it will really stink if they build my truck in November, stick in a parking lot on chip hold for my luxury package and then I don't get my MY22 truck until March of 2023!

why are you so fixated on Negative "what if's" right now? Let the screwy process play itself out- there's nothing any of us buyers waiting for our trucks to be built can do to speed up or change the way it's going to play out

It's still SUMMER man! Get outside and enjoy it before Winter gets here

I hope not. My Lariat hybrid with lux package is scheduled for the week of 19
September.

Hey man, I'm leaving for Kentucky in the morning for the deer-season opener on Saturday. Don't worry; I'm living my life!

I just enjoy talking about the Maverick. I don't think asking these questions is focusing on the negative. I hope Ford gets 'em all built on schedule, but the track record doesn't inspire a lot of confidence.

That said, do I believe I am getting a MY22 Maverick? Yes. Do I believe I'll get it before the end of the 2022 calendar year? Not necessarily. It is what it is.

I have a Hybrid XLT ordered on 10/15/2021. I was given an August 15 build date, and have been pushed back three times so far to a 9/5 build date. I have been waiting all week for the email pushing me back to 9/12...haven't gotten it yet.

As many Maverick conspiracy theory threads as he's started on here, he's probably also the type to call his dealer hourly asking for updates

More likely 9/19 where a lot of us are currently. I went 8/29 to 9/5 to 9/19 currently. Just an ECOboost with 4k tow..

I have an XLT Hybrid in Alto-Blue ordered on 10/21/2021 and it has so far gone from scheduled build dates of: 8/08, 8/15, 8/22, 8/29, 9/05 and most recently as of Monday - 9/19.

My friend ordered a Lariat LUX from the same dealer on 10/13/2021 and was only bumped back once (8/22 to 8/29) and as of now his truck is being built this week (window sticker, production tracker, the works)

I honestly dont think they want to roll anything to a 23 to avoid handing out price protection rebates so I could see them pushing production out even further to get as many 22s as possible, who knows though. Im sure they will build as many as they can with the parts they have...which doesnt bode well for constrained rollover 23s as those constraints are magically going away and will likely be new constraints pop up.

Someone can correct me if I am misinformed, I thought I read/heard the VIN is model-year specific. So any VIN generated for MY22 will be built to the MY22 configuration. Of course any actual production may take place in early 2023. I am like-minded as others, still waiting to place my order and will wait, however long. I am fortunate, I do not need this vehicle. This truck is just another toy for the stable.

Yes and no.

Yes, VIN is hard-coded with the production year.

No, they cannot produce a 2022 model year in 2023. Not allowed. Has to end December 31 2022.

 

[BuddyS]

As far as I know, there's no law saying they can't build model year 22 vehicles in calendar year 2023.

On the other side of the coin, I once had a 1997 Jeep that was built in Nov of 1996.
