I'm currently at 4/18 but I wouldn't be surprised if our actual build dates change at least one more time. Hoping for sooner rather than later like some forum members have reported today.
I wonder if the hitch as part of the LUX package is still NOT considered a constraint since the LUX package itself is not a stated constraint.
It's not. Multiple dealers have confirmed Ford means the standalone hitch. Ford will schedule the packages first which is why they end up with limited numbers of hitches for standalone.
My dealer has allocations but has not received one single Maverick for the 2022 order crowd... Sad me.
That sucks. I will say my dealer has gone through roughly 12 Mavericks but all were EB.
Have not been gettting emails, did ford chat about 2:30 today (02/09/23), showed ordered and have a VIN

Willing to conclude Fleet orders will take #1 priority since they can be done in batches. Ford will wait until they "beef up" their production team in July with rookies before starting to work on the bulk of Retail orders. Just a conclusion based on recent information and my opinion.
I sat in a Timberline about 2 months ago; IMO the interior is considerably worse than a Lariat Maverick. Outside of the seats, everything looked and felt cheaper than a decade-old fleet rental car. I didn't even follow through with the test drive after sitting in it for 5 minutes. That being said, the seats did look nice with the Timberline package accents (orange and green are my favorite colors) and interior space felt nice overall.
I guess it depends on how you feel about the blue. I like blue but even I think the blue interior looks cheap. If not for the additional $13,000, I'd likely pull the trigger on the Explorer.I sat in a Timberline about 2 months ago; IMO the interior is considerably worse than a Lariat Maverick.

Last night the wife and I "test drove" a 2023 Ranger a total of 2.2 miles from the dealership to our house and back in order to see how the updated 2024 Ranger might fit in our garage. I've waited so long for the Maverick that I think I might be sold on waiting a couple more months for the new Ranger. If ventilated seats are an available option for model year 24 I will be 100% sold on it.
Saying and realizing that now increases the odds of my Maverick finally being scheduled by 78%.
Mine had the same build days as yours and also went into production when I checked yesterday too. Soon!

Have not gotten any emails since I ordered it. Originally ordered the Hybrid, but changed over to EchoBoost and AWD when we was given the chance on 12/19/22, found out email was wrong and they changed it, but still do not get any emails. Checked tracker after chat and VIN worked. Also verified with then dealer and that is what he shows.
As least I have a VIN now
Updated: production date was moved to 03/24/2023, then last week to 3/23/2023.
Today I checked tracker and it is in Production as of 3/14/2023.
Getting Closer.
Yes. Sounds like you moved to Friday of that week for any random number of reasons from parts availability to planned train loading.
