Latest Maverick Production Key Commodity Constraints + Total Retail Unscheduled Orders (9/5/23)

[prsncat]

Thanks. I'm new here so not really sure how bad the ratio of orders vs capacity has to be for a significant delay.

I created a spreadsheet that translates what Ford indicates are capacities against what the orders could look like (since they don't provide enough detail in the sheet that gets posted). My rough estimates show that the XL Hybrid is the only true combination that is nearing capacity.

If 37% of the USOB are XL; assuming the ratio of Hybrid to EB is the same for all models (a risky assumption), 68% of the XLs are Hybrid orders. A little over 25% of the USOB is XL Hybrid based on this assumption. Thus, my rough estimate is that there are approximately 12K XL Hybrids on order.

If use this same approach to Ford's capacity, 23% of MY24 production will be XL and 55% of MY24 production will be Hybrid. As a result, approximately 12.7% of the MY24 production capacity is for XL Hybrids.

If Ford is going to produce approximately 100K Mavericks during the 24 MY (average monthly production for the last 12 months is 8,415 or 100,980 over 12 months), the capacity comes out to approximately 12,700.

Thus, the only combination that appears to be approaching capacity is the XL Hybrid. The Hybrid in other models are well below capacity (capacity is 55.5K based on 100K/year and the current USOB is approximately 32.6K).

The point is that people should look for a recommended dealer (see this in the ordering forum) with sufficient allocations to take your Hybrid order since it appears there is still sufficient capacity as long as you order an XLT or Lariat.

Of course, as Tim at Long McArthur (@fordvideoguy) has been hammering into us for two years, leave the dealer-installed options and similar accessories (splash guards, tonneau covers, bed extenders, etc.) off your order! Buy these from the aftermarket.

You can and should order the spray-in bedliner if you want it -- I had Line-X install mine after I received my truck. Yet, we ordered the factory SPIBL for my son's 2024 order.

My son's order is among the many new-for-2024 XL Hybrid orders in the USOB. The Hybrid will more than pay for the additional cost due to the high gas prices here in California. Plus, we were counting on it taking a while to be produced and delivered so he could save money and lower the loan amount.

Hope this helped.

It’s a shame that the price protection is only good at the dealership you ordered from. I think I am stuck with a dealership with few allocations and they sure won’t be wasting any on my entry level hybrid XL. They have 20 “in stock “ that are a variety of EB and hybrids - but only the more expensive trims. Somewhere out there must be a dealer that wants to make a quick buck…order it, unload it, call me-boom here’s your money.

For what its worth.
I called the Ford customer service number that I received through my order confirmation.
I was told there are currently no part constraints for MY24 and production will start after October.
I do not have a VIN yet for the 2024 Hybrid Lariat BAP I ordered on July 18 from my local dealer in Myrtle Beach. I got the X-plan price and did add on Mats, Tonneau cover, Moon Roof, BAP, splash guards, protective film, Touchlink lights, window air deflectors, tail lock, wheel lock options to take advantage of X-plan pricing. They did add on a $491 closing fee which I need to ask about before I take delivery on it. BTW, this same dealer charged me $350 closing fee for a new 2016 Volvo I purchased there in 2016.

They are raising prices quickly, and inflation is killing the buying power of consumers. Flat out, pretty much every new vehicle is not worth what they are asking, but you can daily drive a 21 year old vehicle only so long...

I'm fortunate as my 2023 was scheduled, and I am price protected on a 2024 either way. If I was coming in fresh off the street to order a 2024 hybrid, I would be looking at over $4k more minimum.

For the new 2024 price on a Maverick hybrid, there are other options I might prefer to wait 13 months to get (which is how long I will have waited to get my 2023 Maverick).

Do you think there maybe a decent possibility that ford will bump you to a 24 even though they have scheduled you for a 23? I am suppose to get scheduled for the sept 25 or 28. I forgot

After placing my order this week for an XLT (FX4, 360) I am starting to wonder if I should just go the XL route and do 4k and the 360. I know I wouldn't have a power-locking tailgate and a less than ideal -for me- interior, but I feel like the price decrease makes up for that. However, I see the XL is a Red 14. Does that mean severely behind? Thanks!

You’ll get your truck in 2026 with all those add ons

It does mean constraints to the XL trim. There would certainly be a longer wait than on your XLT, which you would have to consider. But if you are OK with stepping down in a couple features and waiting a while longer you shouldn't have any issues getting it eventually. Since you aren't getting the hybrid, the delay may not be as drastic.

As of this update, there are about 17,000 XL's on order and Ford says they can build 23,000+. They have the capacity to build every order, but it would take 10 months to clear the current order bank of XL's.
