Hi. I'm in the same boat and getting worried/pissed/loud.
Just got off the phone with CS, he told me that my Lariat Hybrid FE was scheduled to go in production tomorrow, but was changed to yesterday 6/5 so finally some good news. I'll check again in a few days.
Mine took 8 months and 3 days! I know it is very frustrating and am sorry you are still waiting.
They're bragging of all the vehicles sold and new models coming. What (tf) does that matter if they can't deliver! Thanks for letting me vent!
You mean PRE-pandemic, global supply line stoppage, and Russian invasion? I totally agree we are experiencing long waits, but keeping things in perspective here, this isn't new or unique to Ford. How may times was Tesla Model 3 production and delivery pushed back? Cybertruck- forget about it. How about the wait for C8 mid-engined Corvette? New Bronco? I have always suggested people in this situation (or ready to take the leap) not tie any other financial or transportation decisions in their lives to certainty of a delivery date for a Maverick. I was lucky(?) enough to have other presssing life priorities that made it so I couldn't complete a deal on mine for up to a year after ordering anyways and it was mostly out of my control. I actually wanted a big delay to get my $hit together before signing on the dotted line. Almost 7 months since I ordered now too. Just the luck of the draw sometimes in this life
Thanks for posting! We appreciate your input… However I don’t accept the global constraints as valid excuses anymore…. Hybrid vehicles sure. Other Ford vehicles, ya obviously. luxury sports cars with custom parts, sure.
I'm 1 week shy of 7 months since I ordered mine too.
Keep your britches on fella. I ordered Aug 31, 2021 and just got the build date of 6/20/2022. There are others that ordered after me and have theirs already. The thing is I probably have more goodies than maybe someone else and mine got held back. This whole affair is taking a ton of patience. Good luck!
I just called and production moved to June 28th. This is the 6th time it moved. Got a VIN and May 16th production date a all time ago. Every week it gets moved, I rather have a little less info and just hope it will get built. This is complete BS. Yes I have seen my build tooooo many times to mention. Wish that I had kept my old car, now I share with the wife.
If the same bureaucrats and politicians stay in office it will be worse than Carter's recession. And I am betting it is going to be much worse due to the lack of integrity in Washington, D.C.
I wasn't necessarily singling out Ford. I'm not buying the geo-political goings on as an all purpose excuse. There's always something going on in the world. It seems to me like the plant in Hermosillo is too small to keep up with demand. That's the bottom line. Also the originator of the thread's beef was with the allocation system.
Well, I'm betting it is going to be worse. The catch phrase right now is "Economic Hurricane" whatever the hell that is supposed to mean. Cat1 or Cat5. LOL, who in hell knows, but there is a change coming for sure.
I was just relating to my wife the other day that in its heyday the Twin Cities plant was churning out close to half a million Rangers a year. Every dealer had dozens in stock from the XL all the way to the FX/4 in a good selection of colors too. I would go with friends looking to buy one and look for the ones with the oldest inspection stickers to grab the best deals. Great times. As for Hermosillo, Ford has their issues there for sure. I would say growing pains with the plant is no small issue and one we will not hear much about. Ford, I would say, would prefer to use the supply chain issues as front and center, which is justified no question, but I suspect there is more to the story than that.
I call my MavXLT LUX “baby” because it went 9 months
this is the new normal. Adapt with coping mechanisms or risk your health and sanity stressing over things out of your control.
