This is exactly what happens! A lot of builds at my dealership that ordered after I did, July 5th, got build dates, whereas I'm still waiting. Most of those that got build dates didn't have SIBL. I've since dropped the SIBL, but still haven't received a build date yet!
MY22 = Model Year 2022.
2022 model year production (building of the vehicle)
I too dropped the SIBL on my EB. I did that in November hoping that would kick start things. But still I know there are people in front of me at my dealership, so the wait continues. I really wish I was one of the lucky ones who jumped in while the dealers were empty, but where I'm at there is just too much demand.
I ordered mine on the 8/23/21 rapid red to I can't wait
I cant wait to get my rapid red and first editionGlad to hear you are just as excited for the Maverick as we are. Thank you for your patience, and support.
I heard something today about Reservation? If you had one before your order, then once "order" is confirmed because of "reservation" that moves you ahead. Kind of like a reservation at a restaurant. If that makes sense?
Yeah, the reservation thing is long gone. Once converted to an order, it’s just like any other order. Dealers are pretty much fifo, but Ford is not.
OK, forgive my stupidity here. I ordered 2 Mavericks in mid-August. Both hybrids. You're telling me they actually might get built soon? Also, both have spray-in bedliners and the cheap tonneau covers. Are you saying that if we take those options off we might get our builds sooner?
My question exactly. I understand supply chain issues etc. but I don’t get how identical vehicles ordered months after some June & July orders have already been delivered while many “old timers” still don’t have build dates.
This has been my major and only gripe about the whole Maverick experience!! I've no problem waiting when there's a supply shortage, or shut downs because of
, or trucker shortages, but when someone who orders the same exact Maverick as I do months after I did and gets a build date or now in some cases has received their Maverick, this is what pisses me off!! The whole crappy allocation system given to dealerships isn't/doesn't work when you have to order online! Ford should've re-vamped their ordering system instead of going with the same old, same old!! How do they expect to attract, let alone keep, customers with this system of picking who gets a build date?!! True, but if they aren't getting produced in order there's not much of a line then, is there? Probably a philosophical difference between us.
