Maverick Constraints / Commodities (National) as of September 29

[WesM]

But if you dump the spray-in bed liner and get it done later, you will not have than Ford oval logo as an Easter egg.

Sure you can, 3D print one and glue it on before they do the spray in!

40% of the time it works 18% of the time - This means I have a -110+Fred=3 chance of having my truck built. Go Hybrid Lariat Lux!!!

I am trying to keep my hopes up and wishful thinking. That's my build and I haven't been scheduled yet. My Jeep has been in the shop almost 3 weeks now. I'm hoping for the best and expecting the worst.

If you're expecting the worst, I would lower your expectations further. The odds are probably worse than winning the lotto once you include the .33ⁿ unscheduled hybrid orders in front of you.

I have no idea if this is relevant or not.
I just got off the phone with Ford for check in, because honesty I couldn’t remember if I got a bed liner or not.

She told me what the holdups were for the week, bedliners, splash guards, etc. She talked fast so I didn’t write them all down.

She asked what my package was and I said Hybrid XLT Luxury. She was like “Oh you don’t have to worry about constraints. Your build won’t be effected by them. It’s the benefit of paying more money I guess.”

So uh, no idea how to interpret that data in conjunction with the list.

XLT LUXURY PKG... LMAO

mine is scheduled for 10/18 and it can't be built fast enough.

I read somewhere (don't remember where) that the problem with spray-in liners was due to a chemical shortage. The chemical is produced at a factory in Texas that was damaged in the big snow storm a few months back.

Including the Anchorman reference, this may be one of the funniest posts I've seen on this forum!

Some people are assuming that the constraints multiply together, so if you order an XLT Hybrid with Luxury package you get 40% (for the hybrid) × 20% (for the XLT Lux) = 8% of builds can have this pair of features.

Does anyone actually know how it works? I would assume they are independent, i.e., 40% of all vehicles scheduled can be hybrids, and 20% can be XLT Lux builds total. So they could decide that 25% of all builds will be XLT Hybrids (and divide the remaining 15% between Lariats and XLs) and then subdivide that to say that 15% of all total builds will be XLT Hybrids with Lux and 10% are XLT Hybrids w/out Lux, leaving 5% of all total builds to be XLT Eco with Lux. Or they could allocate them any number of other ways, but their goal is to end up with 40% total hybrids, 20% total XLT Lux, etc., and only 3% of them get bed mats.

All that would mean it is hard to understand how they affect your probability of being selected unless you also know how the orders break down. I presume they only list constraints when they actually constrain production, so we can infer that more than 20% of all orders and XLT Lux orders, but maybe it is only 25% of all orders in which case 20% only constrains it a little bit. 3% on the bed mats sounds like a small number, but if only 5% of orders include the mat then it doesn't hurt you all that much.

I wish somebody actually who actually knows how it works could explain.

I ordered in June, so here's hoping.

Thanks for the update. Ford finally admitted that the hybrid engines are in short supply.

I think%40 was always the plan.

If I call back my freshmen year statistics class, I have a 29.6% chance of getting my truck with a xlt lux hybrid.... See y'all next summer with it

I think they are on the "Late Availability" list, which is a different kind of constraint. I found this on the build page:

They were also listed in the parts site as being on backorder.

 

[caring1]

The % listed here indicates availability on a national level. There are also regional constraints % (not listed here).

Do you know what the regional constraints are?

That is not what Tim said on one of his broadcast. They are getting constrained item shipped to them and some they have already gotten and are in stock. Some items are shipped to Ford parts and some are shipped to the production facility from the vendor.

Constrained is NOT "Late Availability", they are two totally different things. Items that are late availability are even listed as such in the Order Guides. You can't get something shipped anywhere if they aren't available from the vendor until a specific date that Ford obviously knows about. Constrained is "we aren't getting as many as we need" and Late Availability is "they aren't going to arrive from the vendor until XX/XX/XXXX".
