I have waited almost 15 months for delivery and I have learned more about the automotive market than I ever ventured to even care about. From ordering, to tracking all the manufacturing steps, to knowing every single part of the purchase process. I own a debt of thanks to MTC and all the great members here! Thank you.

I've learned how to take all my frustration disapointment and anger formed by dealing with the most stupid and incompetent
people I've ever met into a tight ball and just keeping it shoved down my throat.

Please find a real-life person to talk to. It’s just a truck.

I will go first.....Ordering a Ford Maverick has helped me keep my spam/junk mail folders spotless, I now check it 2-4 times a day to see if those elusive emails ever land!!!
Ordering a Maverick resulted in whiter teeth.

I wonder if it resulted in any dealership salespeople losing any teeth. Especially the 4,700 2023 orders that were cancelled because of no COVP.
Hey, I learned a lot of acronyms too!

Increased my use of the Serenity Prayer:

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can, and
The wisdom to know the difference.

After the first six months of waiting, I got the wisdom to go with line one of the above.:)(y)

I lost 100 pounds and became a millionaire after taking delivery.* It's been amazing.

*Results may vary

My hybrid Maverick has really taught me how to understand how things work mechanically and to get familiar with under the hood. Something I’ve really never done.

I learned if you do your research, give your dealer the right info, and choose a competent dealer it is fun to order a vehicle and get exactly what you want. In my case it was delivered right on time also. Being dragged into new features like SiriusXM, safety features, and keyless start has been good for me also.

During the 400 days (daze?) waiting for delivery, I learned…

What COVP, ROVP and DORA are and whether each is, or is not, important [opinions vary]

That FIFO does not exist as a construct within FoMoCo

That FoMoCo ā€˜Allocations’ are a derivative of Salary Cap rules as practiced in Professional Sports (pick one, any one), ā€˜cuz they’re indecipherable and change without notice.

That I’m currently in possession of a Unicorn

That I can learn a lot about what hacks and upgrades are possible for this vehicle, if I selectively wade through MTC threads.

I also learned how to ignore specific MTC threads that have zero appeal, interest or application.

The education continues…

I learned there are really awesome dealers out there that want to help the customer, even if they're not their customer. (Looking at you Tim Bartz, aka @fordvideoguy.)
