Ford told me today that there will be no information on the 2023 models until Aug. 1, the day before reordering.

What the hell?

Yea, no shock there. Foolishly, I called Ford chat the other day about my 7 month old order. No VIN, no update, no idea if it will get built for 22, no info on rolling over. Basically said call your dealer on Aug 2 and maybe you will eventually get a truck built.

Thanks, saved me ten mins.

I doubt we will even hear anything on the 1st. The 2023 F150 order banks opened today and I don't think dealers have even received the order guides yet.

Correct! 2023 F-150 order banks did open today (or are supposed to). And I just checked, no order guide yet.

Actually, 23 MY isn't active in WBDO yet either. I just tried to draft and order to see what the options are.....and 2023 isn't available yet (as in there is no way to choose 2023 for a MY).

And we still have some unscheduled 22 F-150s that are supposed to schedule this week.

You would think if Ford gives an order date they would plan ahead and make sure they are ready for said date.

You would think!
The opening of the order bank may just be for fleet first or something like that? Or retail?
We still have allocation for 22s, but those will be all stock (restricted to whatever parts they have left)

It has happened before that the order banks have opened before the order guides have been published.
The difference now is that there is a backlog of people wanting to order a retail vehicle as soon as the order banks open!

Yes, if its that bad for the 22 F150, it will be three times as bad for the Maverick. Maverick is still a new vehicle so there will be lines of new people for the 23s as well as the thousands of 22 orders getting rolled over.

Judging by how the process has gone so far, I don't think getting your order in the second the order bank opens makes one bit of difference.

To add to all this confusion, does anyone know how our dealers "prioritize" our rollover 22 orders?
Mine will most certainly get pushed to 23 MY but we have no direction from @Ford Motor Company on this process.

I have been in contact with local Ford dealers near me (about 5 of them) 2 of them said I can put my order in 8/15!! jeez
I have an appointment at 10am 8/2 with the dealer that my cousin worked for. Hopefully some friends and family attention

sounds like with thousands of complaints to Fords no PR or customer service , no one still has a clue on whats going on,too bad a little PR would go a long way, im on month # 9 ,and never had ONE PEEP from Ford or my dealer,only one email , the day it was ordered,from the dealer and then from Ford that it was ordered. I had to call-email-go in etc. and I know they know NO ONE ELSE has a small truck /hybrid so we are stuck! I have had over 30 Fords,,but if someone else had a small hybrid truck, I would buy it, and I know Ford dont seem to give a crap about customers anymore, sad !!

Yes, that has become painfully obvious. Our Maverick will get built when Ford decides it gets built, plain and simple.
