I may be jumping ship

[MavVa1024]

With no certainty about when things may get smoothed out, and me getting stuck in shit weather twice already this year with my little Nissan and me needing basic truck capabilities for several home projects in the next 4-5 months.... There are well equipped Santa Cruz's at several dealers around me for MSRP. I'm going to test drive one here after work, and if I like it will be getting one this weekend.

I tried to hold out for the Maverick, I even stuck up for the production delays due to the chip shortage... I think the last straw for me may have been that I saw someone who ordered yesterday get scheduled, on top of that a guy who has had 3 trucks ordered with build dates while people langusih with not even a peep.... it's enough to make you go crazy... while there are people ( not even me) who have been waiting since June/July.

Who knows, maybe I won't like the Santa Cruz... and I'll stick it out. Its getting harder to justify... it's only been 2.5 months for me... you long haulers have patience!

Saw my first SC on the interstate today...very aggressive looking and impressive. The pricing structure on the SC kept me on track for the Maverick.

I get it but don’t cancel your order. You’ll want whatever control you have over that Maverick because it’s as good as gold. When it gets built you can keep it, let it go or whatever. But telling your dealer to cancel won’t cancel it. That’s my opinion at least.

Someone placed and ordered yesterday and is already scheduled? Is that true or did they miscommunicate that their order was confirmed vs scheduled for the build?

That’s what somebody said in the email thread. I get OPs frustration.

I have an XLT AWD 4K FX4 Lux Package Area 51. It will be well worth the wait if you can hold out. This Maverick is better than most people think it is.

Ten to twelve months? What a mess.

I did read that on the thread regarding scheduling emails.

I'm definitely with you when it comes to frustration. I have a build date, but since I've been waiting since last summer I am not holding my breath. As was the case the day I ordered, I don't NEED this truck but I want it.
It's reeeeeally upsetting to see the people getting multiple trucks delivered while we wait. And even moreso when they have similar builds. The biggest kick in the junk is seeing the people today getting build dates when they ordered only weeks (or even less) ago. WTF Ford!

If these were normal times with no chip, parts, and labor shortages and no truck driver shortages, how many more Mavericks would be on the road by now? Double? Triple? Quadruple? Any guesses?

Can’t say I blame you. You need a truck. Get one but keep your Mav order. Maybe you can flip the SC or whatever you get in the next few…..er…..several…months, make that year?
