Haha congrats your post made the news! https://www.autoevolution.com/news/...rtedly-pushed-back-to-summer-2022-174063.html

Sadly, it looks like they took your quote completely out of context to create a fear-mongering article though.

Well, that was unexpected lol. I should change my username to "Another member".

I ordered my Maverick on Thursday, 11 Nov, and they didn’t say anything about it. The salesman was hinting that there may be a longer delay than if I went with the eco boost, but my order is still placed. I was told to expect about 8 weeks. I hope I don’t have to wait a year but I guess time will tell. Good luck with your orders everyone.

I think it is terrible that a Ford dealership would tell you 8 weeks delivery for a hybrid. But I also think it's wonderful that you know better.

I’m expecting possibly twice that amount of time given what I’ve read. If anyone is interested, I’ll post updates as they come.

I ordered mine on 11/1 (hybrid lariat lux with sunroof). They estimated 4 months or so for a build date and another 2 or 3 after that before I actually see it.

Seems in line with the 6 months or so I have heard others mention, so I'm guessing I'll see mine in May or so.

Think I might name my truck Patience when it finally arrives.

Called my dealership - Bell Ford Phoenix, AZ. Was advised by my sales rep that no more Hybrid Mavericks will be built until Summer 2022. That I should change my order to an Eco-boost.

Called Ford Directly - Was advised that orders will start being processed again in early December to be built sometime after. (Kind of like what our experience has been watching people get their production dates) While they cannot guarantee delivery time frames they are still building Hybrids as quickly as possible but they are filling up their remaining availability to fulfill new Hybrid orders for 2022 year. They do not know why I was told this by my dealership. On a side note - One of the nicest Customer Service reps I have ever spoken to.

Not sure it would be worth my energy sending my dealership an email - correcting them. What are your thoughts?

No more will be ordered. IF your order is already in it WILP be built

Why do people waste time calling the dealer, they do not care about giving correct information out They want to make a sale, and say anything to YOU and everyone else into the showroom and make a sale.

One of the better sources of what is happening with the Maverick. DO NOT LISTEN TO DEALERS !!!!! They want to make a sale, NOW, not months from now.

Good luck on that 8 week thing. I ordered 9/7 and some ordered in June.

Exactly, they just don't want you looking elsewhere if something becomes available. Personally I'm more than happy to wait, the longer it takes the more money I can save for accessories before it arrives. I placed my order on the 4th of November and the salesman told me 3-4 months. I highly doubt it will be here in February or March, given how popular the truck appears to be. I would be surprised if it comes before May or June, given the raw materials shortages that are facing the industry.

I ordered hybrid xlt 360 lux alto 27k mid June before the long line. Finally got a build Dec 4, then it got bumped to Dec 20. I expect the build will move again since Ford is not telling us why the hybrid still cannot be shipped even on built trucks. If I get it by mid Jan, that is a 7 month wait.

Just ordered a Hybrid Lariat w/Lux yesterday, before the cut-off. Dealer indicated to plan on seeing her in May-June, however, they believe it may be earlier.
