Ford's Shifting Production Policy...

[05Ret]

Sorry my dealer speaks Klingon or some other Galatic Language and without a universal translater, I can't figure out if he's telling me to hold on and wait, or wait to hold on. My texted questions are answered with a simple "Yes" response. Then Radio silence.

Thanks for the positive response. Nope, no VIN. I do watch Tim's videos and know that removing constrained items will speed up the process (maybe - no guarantees). But like many others, I do not want to settle for anything less than what I ordered. If that was the case I would have ordered a stripped down XL. I'm willing to play this waiting game to get what I want but to be told something different every other day is discouraging. I don't think anyone has a real grip on what's going on. I called Ford Customer Service a few weeks back and the rep told me MY23 orders would open up on 15 July. I told him that wasn't true but he insisted it was. So much for knowledgeable Customer service reps! Thanks again.

Here's one for the books. I ordered a 2022 Maverick Lariat Hybrid with luxury package and 360 co-pilot on Oct 27, 2021. Got the confirmation email from Ford and verified it was submitted via appropriate processes. It was assigned a priority 02 by Ford in June which I understand means everything is available to build the truck. Ford then designated the 02 priority with a "p" which supposedly means the truck has been pulled for production. Today I learned the "p" designator was deleted and then truck will NOT be scheduled for production. According to the dealer, the reason was Ford does not want to build vehicles with the 500A package and is opting to build the XL models instead. Is it any wonder that Ford's reputation is in the toilet with crap like this?????

That's insane, I ordered my Maverick XLT FX4, LUX, 360 in December, it was built in late April and arrived at the dealer by June.

Another sky is falling thread based on being ill informed. There is no 'shift' in production policy. If you get a Vin then you are scheduled because they have your parts lined up. That priority code is just a 'pick me next' que for Ford to line up the build order. There was no change in production policy. Also, you can't compare the build timelines of the EB with the Hybrid. The Hybrid has been a known constraint for awhile. The EB engine has never been constrained. Though lately I have seen a bunch of reports of people finding out they have a vin and/or are scheduled/in production by contacting the Maverick number because the dealer had no idea. Seems a mad scramble to get these built out. I'd try calling them with your order info to see if you have a Vin/build date.

I’ve had a VIN for at least 6 months but my build date has been pushed back 6 times. Now it is scheduled August 8 and supposed to be delivered by 8/26. That’s one year or more since I ordered it. FE RR Hybrid Lariat.

that explains why both of my XL got scheduled after a long wait

I ordered an XL hybrid on November 2021. It’s not scheduled and bumped up to MY23.

Ford said "first in first out" on orders. Pretty funny now. I have a plain XLT Hybrid with hitch and floor mats. Order date 10-11-21 No Vin#. I am feeling pretty awesome about my priority 2 status.

Hey another person that placed their Mav order on the same date as me. Awesome. I’ve been priority 2 for a while. Hybrid XLT with very few add ons and dropped the sibl a while ago due to hearing it was a constrained item.
the dealer says it more than likely will get built but they don’t know for sure.
I called customer service today at Ford. Nothing new. Still processing purgatory.

im not sure...I got a call from my dealer today in Illinois, ...my oct 15 order for a hybrid HPR maverick lariat lux with Sibl, black rims, soft t cover, and console safe has been scheduled for Aug 29.

Don’t feel awesome, my September 18 order has been priority 02 for months.. no VIN and no hope. Actually I’m anxious to see what happens as I’ve got deals pending with Honda for a Ridgeline or CR V touring. Just waiting for Ford to tell me to go forth and multiple myself.

I’m an October 14 order. It’s just a Hybrid XL with a hitch. I called today and NOTHING! I think they’re building the more profitable models.
