Today is somewhat of an anniversary for me as I officially ordered my Lariat Lux Maverick one year ago today! But I don't feel much like celebrating. According to Ford, my truck was built in March of 2022, arrived in Portland, OR by rail in early April of 2022, and there is has sat for over 4 months, awaiting transportation the last 425 miles to my dealership. Every few of weeks I contact Ford's "Maverick Team" via their customer service phone number, or my dealership, but either way I get the standard run-around... "It should be delivered next week". I've received this same message by email or by phone 17 times since April. Today I learned Ford has such a thing as a V.D.I.R. (Vehicle Distribution Investigation Review) that can be initiated by Ford Logistics. Has anyone dealt with this VDIR? Did it help locate your new Ford vehicle or explain logically why it has not been delivered?

A bunch of Mav's got damaged/parts stolen off that cesspit that is Portland, Or. If I had to bet that is why you haven't gotten your ride, some Portland lowlife scum made off with the Cat and whatever else so now it is stuck.

Another local dealership has 2 Mavs in stock but both are customer orders, both were supposedly "damaged in transit", and both were damaged in the Portland storage lot. One had the cat removed, the other had the muffler/resonator removed (undoubtedly by some scum-bag idiot thief who thought the muffler/resonator was the cat). Both awaiting replacement parts. I don't suppose anyone has a phone number I could call at the Portland storage lot to at least have them verify by the VIN that it IS there?
:mad:

Yeah, a bunch of thugs breaking into places in Portland were arrested/released like 9 times each over the past year. The political climate in that area doesn't respect property owners or businesses in the least.
