While I'll still need this Group after today, I do hope some of the members are rewarded via email today!

Ford actually had a version of this type of eCVT before Toyota.

in 2005 Ford actually used an ASIN ( Toyota ) ECVT trans. Supplied by Toyota before building it themselves -

They did not have it before Toyota they purchased the rights to use it. Ford earlier did use a ZF sourced CVT transmission which was total garbage.

Same thing happens to me. It started this week. I have a hybrid XL on order since July 21st.

I think technically Ford and Toyota both used a transmission company called Aisin, Ford started making the eCVT design in-house some time ago.

Aisin is Toyota's subsidiary company for producing transmissions.

Why have I not found this thread before?

Spending too much time in the meme thread

My sales guy ordered a Hybrid he got his build date already. I am still waiting and waiting and waiting. Hopefully more will be getting scheduled soon once the OKTB is approved and the Epa stuff is take care of.

Just asked my dealer to switch to ecoboost. Over 2 months and still "in processing". Sorry, guys!

Edit: Email received about 20 minutes ago.

Have not received an email, but spouse, who also has a Maverick hybrid ordered, called Ford an hour or so ago. He was able to get a VIN for my hybrid HPR Lariat Luxury 360 but no build date. He messaged the sales manager at our local dealership who says there's a build date or 11/22. (Yay! I hope.)

His hybrid RR FE is, of course, still in limbo.

Just reserved a dealer stock eco boost. Wasn’t in too big of a rush when I ordered my hybrid back in June, but with earliest I would get my hybrid being January/February I can’t wait that long given the work my current car needs before the snow starts flying.

I really liked the idea of the hybrid for fuel savings and the $5k savings over the awd 4k ecoboost, but I guess the more peppy engine, awd, and ability to tow more will be nice to have.

I know lots has been said about these recent ford launches already, but I just wish Ford would have been more upfront about the hybrid availability from the start. I know the pandemic supply chain excuses etc.. but this feels pretty well planned that they wouldn’t be making many hybrids out of the gate.

Oh well, I guess I’ll keep my hybrid on order and since new cars aren’t depreciating assets anymore maybe I can trade in my ecoboost when my hybrid comes in without taking a financial hit.

So far, it does not come up, BUT I just received the magic email. VIN matches what he was given. We're officially excited.
