And the one’s that don’t get their Maverick get to share the pot!

While I am a OK with the Maverick, there hasn't been a 'love' relation with it. Especially dislike the carbon buildup issue with the EB 2.0 that will surface sooner or later. Yes, one can install couple of OCCs, but that does not eliminate this issue, just delays it. At the same time, there are risks with installing the OCCs that could cause more issues. The hybrid Maverick 2.5L hybrid does not have the carbon build up issue and initially wanted it, but has other issues that made me cancel the order.
Couple that with relatively bad experience with the "order & pray" way of getting my first one, it's not something that I want to repeat. I much prefer purchasing a new vehicle by just walking into dealer's lot and pick one.
The chances are that my next truck will have naturally aspirated engine, instead of a small size, high output engine. This is not intended to belittle the EB engines, it's just an indication of my preference....

I'm supprised that the dealer didn't put you at a 10 rather than have you go away mad. Priority codes and allocations are just numbers they throw around to give you at least something. It's no skin off their nose to tell you your priority code is 10 and that they have twice as many allocations as they have orders to keep you waiting.Couple of days ego, I've ordered a Hybrid for '24:
The price was OK with me, about $1.3K more than my current one, but didn't like the priority code of 19. Based on what I've seen in this forum, it would've taken Ford probably a year, if not rolled over for '25. Nah, just keep my '23 Lariat....
You mean they actually refused to put you at 10?
Wow.
Yeah that's why I'm still waiting for a hybrid. The truck loses much of it's appeal to me with a little gas only engine stressed by a turbocharger. Yes I know its much more powerful and still gets pretty good miliage but I've had many older cars where the turbo goes and it's literally a drag.

Can you expand on this other issues? Is it ford issues, part issues, build issues?

There are couple of them, like no 4K towing package, front wheel drive only, too much cheap plastic all around, rather thin body panels that could crumble when someone sneezing close by. I was just kidding with the sneezing....
There are no dimming mirrors in and outside, no driver seat memory settings, no parking/backup assist, etc., more of a convenience items. Remote start/stop by the FOB should be standard across the different models. Then there are things that should be enabled by default in the different control modules, like setting the default drive mode, close/open the power windows when the truck is locked/open, recognize traffic light and street signs, etc. From the privacy perspective, my signature displays my view of the Maverick.
It's OK not having some of these in the low to mid-20K ranges, but closer to 40K range Maverick should have most of these items, instead of people "enhancing' their set of wheels...
