I absolutely love your optimism, but I completely and thoroughly disagreeI am not sure we can compare 2022 orders to 2023 orders. The MY 2022 Maverick was brand new, Ford had no idea how popular it would be, didn’t figure a supply chain breakdown would happen, and was not prepared for transit/delivery delays. They left the order banks open for a much longer span of time not really knowing when to close it down. Additionally they didn’t have any priority system in place. Orders were not filled as a first come first serve basis. Finally, since orders were placed over the span of months, the time span from order placement to delivery varied. June and July orders were delivered around 6-10 months, September thru November orders took 10-13 months to deliver.
I hope Ford has learned from MY 2022 and is more prepared for MY 2023. The order banks were open for less than a week instead of months. That means if there were 80,000 orders placed and Ford can only deliver 8,000 units a month, some will get their truck in month 1 and others will get their truck in month 10. From what I have read, Ford has also figured out where their supply chain kinks are and are factoring that into the order fulfillment schedule.
I really don’t think MY 2022 and MY 2023 can be compared apples to apples…
