Latest 2024 Maverick Production Key Commodity Constraints + Total Retail Unscheduled Orders (1/22/24)

Wow, now it's tires?
Tires?
Floor mats, mud flaps and now tires.
And still the trailer hitch?
It's a long way from owning their own rubber tree plantations in South America and forging their own steel at River Rouge.

Trailer hitch hasn't been an issue since 2022.

Dealers can give 03-19, Ford gives the 02 priority, which they did for all carryover orders that they could easily verify were 2023 orders. I'm very aware how it works. We had 325 carryover orders and all got scheduled already.

I just re-confirmed with the Sales Manager at my dealer (Cambridge Ford), that they can only set the priority between 10 and 19. Anything lower than 10 is set by Ford, not the dealer.
So, how are you setting the priority to 3?

But I still don't have a vin number, they have April as my 8th month . But im sure they might be over that timeline just like everyone else

I did not get my VIN until the 2024 Gas XLT I ordered showed up at the dealer in Tulsa. Shipped on 12/21/23, I took possession on 1/13/24. This was 10-14 days before the automatic notifications indicated

It is still listed here in the OPs screenshot attachment.
And my 2024 that I just got was ordered as a 2023 (with a trailer hitch) and took 1 year and 3 1/2 months to get here.

According to @fordvideoguy (nice video today):

Limited Availability = Below expected production values, some are likely to still be scheduled though
Exhausted Availability = Far below expected values, don't expect many to be scheduled
No Availability = None will be scheduled

In my opinion, someone at Ford needs to come up with a better name than 'Exhausted'. That's a misnomer. Typically, 'Exhausted' means 'completely used up' or 'empty'.

Keep in mind these documents are internal documents for Ford only, not meant for the public. They will use terms that Ford is already very familiar with.

Your dealer is not reading their memos from Ford. It use to be 10 was the lowest but they changed it to 3 last year.

Ask you dealer to give it a try and see for themselves.

But it really may not matter. It would only matter if they lower your priority but not other at the same dealership. A lower number above 2 does not help you compete with orders from other dealers.

My dealership has no information they want to share except to let me know that I'm still on a waiting list and that they had sent my information to ford. I did notice that on the ford website where I had save my truck design that it was removed from the account I had saved.

Ah the mudflaps Ford should just eliminate them. I had them on my 22 order and they held up the build. Ridicules

hitch is not a constraint.

By typing in 03 in the priority section. This changed about 6 months ago.

Yes, it's listed as a 5% surplus. 65% capacity, and 60% of the trucks ordered it. No shortage.

My XL is being built this week.
The modules are active today
I'm assuming Ford had the tires

Or are they exhausted now ?

Shame there isn't someone from ford in hereto answer your question in private message. So congratulations on the process of getting your truck.
I'm guessing that I will be seeing information on mine here in couple weeks or so. I received a email saying that I m still on their list to get on but it isn't on the production line yet. So we shall see. I'm still saving what I can to use as a down payment and borrow from my bank to pay on the truck.

The scheduling notes are looking 2 months out. So it's irrelevant to your vehicle being built now in the present.

Ok, my dealer tried that trick and it does not work. Here is what he gets:

So, how do you get the priority up from 10 to 3?
