I suggest you practice what you preach. If you don’t like what people are saying, just leave or don’t read the thread!

This!

Brevity, paragraphs, sentences, punctuation! The finer things in writing.

Brevity is the soul of wit.

There is a list of topics related to the Maverick here. Most complaining is in the general forum right here where you posted. Plenty to read in other areas. And this is the internet. People like to bitch on it.

Hello all, I first joined this forum in dec.21, I knew this forum existed earlier but only joinned after I got a Maverick.

First of, I mean no offense to those who will get offended but stop your complaining. This is a rant, if you dont like what I'm writing, then you can simply leave this thread. No hard feelings.

I initially thought this forum was a good place to gather information and ideas for the Maverick, share projects and etc. But as of late, I found this forum to be very annoying and full of complaints. It's always about people complaining about how FORD or their dealerships markups and mess ups.

I guess you can say I'm one of the lucky ones who received a Maverick in Nov.21. But I dont think I was lucky, I went to 8 total dealerships in my region. All had markups, no budging on pricing.

I kid you not, I bought my Maverick, although it may be a XL trim (I personally don't care) sight unseen. After 7 dealership visits, I came to the conclusion, if I wanted this vehicle, I'd have to settle. Placing an order was supposely going to take 3 months....which I doubted.. sounded like 6 to me. Guess I wasn't wrong about that.

I settled for a maverick that was built by the dealership, I purchased it from and bought it sight unseen, knowing it wasn't going to be the Maverick I exactly want, wasn't the color I wanted, wasn't the trim or options I wanted. But honestly I needed a vehicle, and I wanted the Maverick. It came in 2.5 weeks later, I love my XL, yah it's a lower trim, but its a functional car.

I'm a license mechanic, I know the more fancy stuff you want, the more problems it comes with. These vehicles are meant to be workhorses...they're not a 6 figure vehicle you should be complaing about little things.

What I'm trying to say is, you guys gotta stop complaining...this forum is full of complaining about production, about pricing, and it's like a watchdog of Fords production line. It's kinda annoying.

People need to understand it's not FORDS fault, well not fully. Yah they could have done better...nobodies perfect, especially a corporation like Ford that has 1 simply job...to create revenue for their shareholders...that's the honest fact...they are a business..they're not here to screw you consumers over, althought it may seem that way.

Covid19 has done lots of damage to society, and also to businesses. A shortage of parts is clearly indicated. A supply chain disruption....literally means a link in a CHAIN has been broken and things will get delayed...people need to understand that...If you had an order and it wasn't filled...it sucks but it's fricken reality...you guys need to stop complaining and pointing fingers...if you want the car bad enough...pay the premium...or stop whining.

That's the world we live in now.. stuff has gone up in $, looking at production #'s aren't going to change anything. Stalking Ford isn't going to fix anything. All it takes is 1 chipset to not be available to stop a whole line up of vehicles from being built.
There are more important things in life then complaining about how your Maverick isn't built... you wanted a hybrid. that comes with fricken semi conductors....which is a shortage.. suck it up. I wanted the hybrid too, but I know better than ordering one and hoping it will arrive at the promised time frame, 100% knowing there was a semiconductor shortage...anyone with a capable mind would understand those things come hand in hand.

So please stop complaining about production dates and crap when it won't change anything, you dont run the factory, you have ABSOLUTELY no control... wait or pay the price it's going to cost. THAT'S HOW THE WORLD WORKS...capitalisms at its finest.

This thread will probably get hated on, but I voice my opinion knowing so. I'm just tired of coming onto this forum and seeing the SAME crap about production or markups. From every other thread that's created.. so annoying.

I edited your quote above into paragraphs and added apostrophes. Otherwise it's in whole. Feel free to copy and paste over your original post.

It will allow your thoughts to be better read and understood by more people. Thanks!

So, in short, "Stop Complaining."

Got it.

Only thing I’ve ever complained about is ford’s Allocation system. It’s stupid.

I would like to have this Maverick forum be about a bunch of us enthusiasts sharing warm stories of magical weekend adventures with our Mavericks, or sharing photos of our rides and latest mods.

Unfortunately, that was the dream Ford promised with all the early ads last summer, coupled with the "you're scheduled, you're in production, it will only be a few days" emails. And then gooseeggs when nothing happens.

The roller-coaster mental ride of false hope over realistic execution is on Ford, not these forum members. Ford sugar-coated expectations to keep the stockholders happy, to great effect (for a while).

While the fun part of this forum is the vehicle and exeryone's experience with it, the reality is that this forum also serves for discussion on ordering, shipping, receiving (the acquisition experience). Yes, we know that there is a pandemic, perhaps Ford should adjust their messaging in line with realistic expectations.

love to get back to Stereo and speaker mods

Even before reading this thread, I told my wife I need to back away from the day-to-day focus I've had on the the Maverick and my plans for it. I've been trying to replace my vehicle for over a year and miss my stereo (good audio) more than anything. I have a long commute.
We drove around a bit yesterday, looking for potential alternatives to the Maverick. I told her then that I may back off on the forum for a while as I wait. There are a lot of folks on here with Mavericks in hand that probably don't need all the noise from us disgruntled waiters. That said, I didn't agree with the OPs message delivery at all.
But yes, I may pick up something if I can find it to scratch the itch for audio.
