Maverick Constraints List as of January 3, 2023

[Ozarkbeard]

I just got this on my Hybrid XL order with just Trailer Hitch and 400w inverter. Not sure there is anything I can do since it's already scheduled correct?

Do you have a VIN yet? If not, you should still be able to make changes to accessories.

Yes, I have a VIN and Window Sticker

Yes, I have a VIN and Window Sticker

Then there is nothing you need to do. This really only impacts unscheduled orders.

Going on face value of the current constraint list, I'm still in very good shape to be built. Quietly optimistic I could have it by end of summer.

Allocations notwithstanding, I agree.

Yes, I agree. Hopefully ordering from one of the largest Ford dealers in Texas will help.

I might have a better chance of winning the lottery than having my XLT Hybrid with CP360 and a hitch built huh?

We know Ford hasn't scheduled anything since they last put this info out. So, the fact the hybrid-to-EB ratio didn't change likely means not enough people made the jump to even register as a rounding error.

I was never even contacted by my dealer to inform me about the option to switch to EB. Would be interested to know how many people on this board with hybrid orders were contacted by their dealers about this...i assume not many.

There could be a few reasons why you weren't contacted:

1. They know where you sit on their list based on their allocations and know you are likely to get scheduled soon. ie: you could be one of their next hybrid orders and they have plenty of allocations left. So, no reason to change it.
2. They didn't see or they didn't understand the memo to know they should contact you to offer the change.
3. Dealerships likely aren't just used to running a retail-only business. You have to basically drive it as the retail-heavy paradigm is still a new thing to them and they don't really know how to handle it. When my dad ordered his Taurus 15 years ago, he basically had to work the system for the guy as the dealership simply didn't do retail orders all that much.
4. They don't care. If they have 20 allocations and 40 orders, they will still get their 20 trucks to sell. So, why would they care?

Unfortunately, unless you contact your dealership, you won't know which of these it is.

WIth the relatively low uptake of EB with no evidence of allot of conversions, it really seems like the Order Banks should open up so that those who want EB can place orders. Apparently the great majority of Hybrid buyers do not want to switch... leaving that production capacity open.

I'm ready to order an EB as soon as Ford will take the order.

I don't think they will open up order banks. I originally thought they would once the EBs run out, but now I'm convinced the only people able to order an EB who otherwise doesn't have an EB order will be people who have an existing hybrid order who wants to swap. I think the 84,000 orders Ford initially took peaks their capacity for the year.

Not much change… Hybrids and standalone hitches are the problem. (No mention of XL)

At least the potential SIBL crisis didn’t materialize.

Wonder why they do not include the XL constraint.

The 84k orders that they took includes a bunch of hybrids they can't build and capacity for EBs nobody has ordered.

However I agree they won't take anymore orders - they shouldn't take anymore orders and they should simply take whatever is left that they can build, build it - and get it out to dealers.
