Wouldn't all dealers be affected by that? Does it make sense to withhold capacity from dealers just because there were delays? Perhaps that was the flaw in Ford's allocation formula.

It doesn't make sense for Ford to in effect penalize one of their highest volume truck dealers and the customers that go along with it, and yet...
I suppose we as the consumers just can't see the big picture.

My local dealership said they have 20 Mav allocations for 2023 MY...and a solid 30 orders. (I do not know the ratio of roll-overs vs. new.) Folks who know about constraints, and are willing to modify their options, may have the better strategy for getting built.
I almost went with Ted Russell but switched to a Chattanooga dealer on the 16th because I couldn't get my sales guy to respond. Placed the order in 5 minutes over the phone. No idea re: allocation.
I did all that to try and get emails from Ford for my 22 order. It didn't help. My order is in production right now, so there's that.

I think the hybrids are the most popular choice everywhere. I live in Southeast Texas where gas is $2.80 a gallon right now, and I still ordered a hybrid. Most of everyone else I know that ordered a Maverick in the Houston area also ordered hybrids

Did either of them require a deposit? I believe Ted Russell said they wanted $500 (non-refundable) which was a big no for me. I went out of a state for a below MSRP price but maybe I should have ordered in state.

Out of curiosity did they want a deposit? Was it refundable? When I called they wanted $500 non-refundable.
Both dealers charged $500 and said it was refundable. Maybe TR changed their refund policy at some point.

I was the first order at Ted Russell, (Kingston Pike, not sure about Parkside) they didn't know the banks were actually open until I told them let's try it. $500 deposit is refundable (what I was told). Hope all this is good news since my only add on was the full size spare.

Looks like there are multiple people in this thread that ordered from Ted Russell. I did also. I ordered 1st thing Friday morning and there were like 3 or 4 others also there ordering at the same time. I was also told the $500 deposit was refundable.
As of 8/8/22, my dealer said they received 30-40 total 2022 Mavericks. And they were the biggest dealership in the USA a couple years ago. And for months they only had 1-3 Mavericks in their online inventory at any given time. Early on in November of 2021, they were getting in about 9 Mavericks a month so the pace slowed way down in early 2022 and the pace stayed slow ever since.

All I want to know did Ford take more orders for 2023 than they can make in the few days the order banks were open. If they can make the orders received then its just a waiting game. If they took more orders than they can make then WTF. Cancel those orders or at least say not likely to get built. WHY leave a person hanging for a year?
Yea i get they may have parts for this one build but not this one with these options. so Ford isn't really sure which ones it will build. BUT still,
Say they leave me hanging for the entire year then say oh oh no Mav for you. Reorder a 2024. No thanks. I am out of here. Maybe Toyota will have a competitor by then? Or just forget the whole thing about a small hybrid truck, No way I would do a 2024 reorder. Not if they let me hang in the wind for a year.

Lets not count on that. I have two 2022 orders. Both ordered after January 15th, one has CP360 & Luxury Package both of which are supposed to have been constrained. The other has neither CP360 or the luxury package. Guess which one is built?
Yep, the truck with the constraints is built, the one with the only options being FX4 and 4k Tow has been pushed back twice and isn't in production yet. Also, FWIW, the truck that has been built was originally scheduled for 11/7 and then got bumped forward to 9/14 at the same time the "unconstrained" truck got bumped back. Also, the "constrained" truck was originally scheduled two weeks after the "unconstrained" truck.
TLDR, constraints seem to actually be meaningless, taking them off doesn't speed up production. That isn't just my experience, there have been lots of similar posts here on the same thing.
There is a touch of logic to this. Constrained means Ford only has so many to build. They still want them built. So, if they have the parts for 10 Lariat Lux packages ready to build, they are going to grab 10 Lariat Lux orders over 10 Lariat orders without it. They just won't grab 11.
