The allocation system was created to help the smaller dealers, not the larger ones. Having 3 weeks of little to no orders being scheduled should show that.
Other than provide undated allocation numbers, what more could they do?
I got my information from Tim Bartz and Tom at Chapman. They both said that the allotments favored the higher volume dealers. Yes there are cleanup weeks and certainly with 3000 dealers, a Chapman's not going to get a ton every week, but there aren't many other dealers who've moved as many already.
Honestly I would rather every dealer operate like Chapman. They have knowledgeable people. I walked in, test drove a vehicle and had a below invoice DORA in less than an hour. My pre-order went to Ciocca Ford and they are crooks. Took 3 months to even contact me even after I reached out to them and I have had terrible service experiences with them trying to rip me off. Sands Ford in Red Hill had no idea what a Maverick was. Bergey's is clueless. Meanwhile Chapman is one of the top selling Maverick dealers in the country just because they know how to use an internet forum and aren't trying to rip people off.
That be mine. Still doing the paper shuffle. Price was 21,875 from Chapman. The tax, tag and prep fees still need to be paid to Ford of Port Richey. Thanks for checking on it for me. Looks like it needs a good wash.Called around today, and found out the first Chapman drop ship has landed at Ford of Port Richey. Went to see the Velocity Blue XL Ecoboost in person, and first impressions are very good. Looks like a stout little truck with all the storage, and hauling capabilities. Very excited to get mine in the distant future. I liked it better in person, than in pictures, actually sits higher off the ground than I originally thought.
If the owner is on this forum, please update us with the pricing and financing with Chapman, as the MSRP on the window sticker was $22,790 for XL Ecoboost, tow hitch, FWD, and full size spare. Interested to see what you pay out the door, with Taxes, Title Transfer, drop ship charges, and all that jazz. Congrats to whoever owns this thing!

I will let you know how it goes. I have a feeling that it is going to take a long time for Hybrid orders to be filled.
Jeff Swift (Ford of Port Richey) fleet manager mentioned he still has to prep, clean, and get it ready for you whenever the paperwork is in order. Said it just rolled off the truck! Really nice guy, sounds like you’ll get good customer service from them. Please keep us updated, congrats!
Yes, that was the 4% off invoice plus doc fees and fuel charge. I see in your pictures that the hubcaps are on. the picture I got was taken just after it was delivered.
What's the latest with yours in terms of location? Mine is somewhere in Illinois/Indiana. Tracking has been wonky for the last week.
How was the pickup? Total out the door?
