March Maverick Production - 5,400 Units

[Leggowe]

I have a confirmed order of July 20, xlt Lux 360, and it’s such a bummer to think that so many orders have already found a good home, but yet I’ll possibly have to make a choice of getting a truck minus a chip or two. This is crazy. I’m wondering if all the rest of the June and July orders will actually get a build date only with the agreement to have missing chips. I know, I’m doing the pity party for myself, but in all honesty I really feel sorry for June orders, because they were so excited to place their orders first, just to watch their excitement fade away into frustration.

I ordered an hybrid XLT lux/360 in August so hoping to see a build date soon. I too have considered cancelling and going with something else. An elk totaled my daily driver last August and I average about a 100 miles a day for work. I need a commuter and not really a truck (I already have an F250) , but every time I start looking at other vehicles nothing else comes close to the gas mileage, options, appeal or price for the money. Since I'm an August order I'm pretty sure I'll get my truck by this summer, but seeing all the folks who ordered in June and July that are still waiting for a build date is pretty depressing and I feel their pain. Like others I was told by the end of the year when I placed the order. Silly me for assuming they meant the end of 2021!

My vehicle is the same as yours ordered late Aug. production date is April 11, 2022.

Placed my order (Lariat, fx4, 4k, 360) and had it confirmed 6/15, initially scheduled for production 11/29, then 12/6, then 12/20. Build finally started 12/21 and now FINALLY got an email that it's been built 3/13 with expected delivery 4/13-4/20. There is light at the end of the tunnel.

The way I look at it is I'd rather be in line right now than to order a 23 and be to the back of the line at that time. I would get my vehicle a lot sooner if I keep my 22 order that gets moved to 23 then to cancel it and then wait for all the orders to be made which may never happen if it continues like the Bronco did and getting more orders for 23 than you're gonna be way behind the ball game when it comes to having your vehicle built in 2023 model year.

Also the brand manager told me that if there were no constraints they could build all of the current 22 model year orders by the end of 2022 production. But the reason orders will get pushed to 23 is because of the orders that have the Luxury package and the co pilot 360 package and other bed accessories.

I ordered June 21 2021, HYbrid XLT w/Luxe, I now have a build date of April 11. I hope this is real.
I'm 62 and never thought I'd wait a year + for a new vehicle

Ordered loaded Lariat Hybrid Maverick October 1 st 2021. I knew a month afterwards by production numbers Ford would not be able to make my truck in 2022. Mid 2023 may be more like it. And now they are talking about selling vehicles incomplete. My answer to that is, deduct the features from my purchase price and I will pay for it when Ford gets the features to install. As the old saying goes, someone put the cart before the horse, here FORD just threw the cart down the hill without even having a horse to pull it.... What's next no tires?

I agree with you on that, Tim. There is absolutely ZERO reason to cancel an order. You have nothing to lose riding it out. Better to hold your place in line than leave and start over in the back. You can always decline your truck when it arrives (whenever that is), but if you give up, you'll never get that chance. Besides, dealers are never going to "cancel" the order anyway. They'll just take the truck when it arrives and sell to the highest bidder.

I find your comment from the Maverick brand manager interesting. If he's telling you the truth -- no reason to believe he isn't -- then perhaps Ford did not have the 80,000-100,000 orders everyone is assuming. Maybe it really is only 50,000-60,000 orders. But unless/until Ford lets that information out of the bag, we are all left to speculate...

Dealers are hoping you quit your order new base model hybrid xl's are going for 10k over sticker. I ordered mine on the 25th of June and I'm in dealer appropriation hell.

Dealers with high volume will get more than other dealers. So best of luck to anyone that ordered, most dealers will get allocations well before any orders so order holders are screwed. Happening with Bronco orders as well. Just chalk up this as a lesson that orders does not mean the manufacturer has to deliver a vehicle based on order.

Ordered my Lariat with ecoboost engine July 5th. Ford's tracking email system tells me March 21st I may see it at the dealer and it has been produced and is sitting in Nogales. Dealer tells me they see it delivered June 4th and are not sure about the tracking info I getting via email. Just waiting and crossing my fingers that I will see it in a year from order date.

What were the last five digits of the VIN?

47387

Simple. We are basing it on Ford's reported production/sales to date, plus future estimates of production for the remainder of the model year. If you take the number of Mavericks Ford has produced to date, and then add another 5,500 Mavericks or so produced each month between now and September, you're going to end up with a number in the ballpark of 60,000.

Ford could assign 200,000 Maverick VIN numbers tomorrow, but until those trucks are actually built and delivered, it doesn't matter. So, it's possible the final tally could be well in excess of 60,000. But we will just have to wait and see. Tim said in his call last week that Ford is planning to schedule 5,400 Mavericks this month (for May production). So again, unless that number rises dramatically, how is Ford going to produce more than about 40,000 additional Mavericks between March and September? Remember, Ford has already said they will commence MY23 Maverick production on Oct. 24. If they build 6,000 trucks a month, from now through September, that's 42,000 trucks.

Think 21k will be hybrids from now to end of MY22. Idk if they will ever go above 50% hybrids so assuming not.

Longest build I've seen on these forums......ask them to at least chocolate dip your scorpions, I'd go with dark chocolate.

I'm wondering if there has been any updates/changes to the things that were constraints on getting a build scheduled. Seems lux packages are still killers. I wonder if you removed the lux package but added the hard drop-in if that could speed things up. I know SIBL is out of the question, but the hard drop-in seems to be of good quality...

10 months!

is that a "build" timeline though? Because I'm guessing that's just the time you ordered to the time it was built. Ordering to built is one thing, but to have your production actually start and finish three months later is insane.
