I don't need a Maverick, but I want one.
Be patient Grasshopper…I ordered an XLT LUX (wish I had ordered a Lariat after I learned about the keyless and ACC) in Nov of ‘21, same time as my friends in Washington state (bought in Gresham Oregon). They got theirs 3 months ago. They love it and have driven it over 1/2 the US already. They paid MSRP and received a $2,750 price protection when Ford could not fill the ‘22 order and they had to rush and re-order the ‘23. I on the otherhand have to deal with a dealership who is trying to mark up the truck that I ORDERED TWICE $12,000 over MSRP. A person I know went in there and found out the same thing, they started yelling at him about “We told you!!” He was extremely upset and left and the next day his father (who is a prominent Hawaiian and by that I mean in size and fame) came in and gave them hell. He went out at 2k over MSRP. I went in the same day thinking the dudes would be beaten down (mine is on a ship sailing arriving here next week after 640 days) and nope $12,000 still there, “but I have been waiting 630 days for MY ORDER” I was never told you would be marking it up or I would have gone to a dealer on the mainland (they are all marked up at the 3 dealers here). ”I bought my Ford Ranger in ‘97 via A FAX! At Courtesy Ford in Portland, and they brought it to me!” He is now writing it down $5,000 above MSRP, unacceptable. I don’t like dealing on something I thought was going to be $29,850 (minus the price protection of $2,750) when I first got the Window sticker from Ford, they told me at the dealership it would be $41,000 for a ‘23 XLT Lux, can’t imagine what they are charging for the Lariat… This should be a FTC and State Commerce issue but some how the dealers get away with it. I guess the $2,000 they make from Ford on Holdbacks and wholesale is not enough.
I know how ya feel, Fords "no" customer service is a shame, it was not like that before I have had new fords since 1974 ,my Mav. order took 19 months. and not a peep from Ford. a lot happened to us over the last 2 yeras, so we downsized. sold the boat- travel trailer, and then the 2019 f150. InJan 23 I found a santa cruz SE awd at $28,500 sticker, so I got it, six months now 5,500 miles no issues, and getin high 20's avg. as my wife has a 7 year old Kia soul ,thats never been in the shop, but oil changes etc.4 months latter the MAv comes in, dealer was ticked I did not take as they sold it above sticker, now I see that all 6-7 dealerships they own, now have 40 Mavericks on the lots, ours in town has 9 . too bad as one would be in my driveway ,even if they kept me informed along the 18month ride!!, too bad.
And there is a “I won the lottery” t-shirt with a blue Maverick on it sold on ETSY, ford should have these in their Merch
Update…it’s in all the ‘22 and ‘23 colors, Terrain and Azure Grey not included..
Welcome to the club. Thousands of people waiting in excess of two years.
It appears my Mav is going to be built after 10 months (hybrid). If I wasn't going to get a '23, I would have cancelled! Ford didn't get it right with the Edsel. Mavericks are another problem. Ford Orders Remain Doubtful! It annoys me that, for most, msrp is the name of the game.
Well, now I am just waiting for Commodore Bob to chime in. He as IT/MBA which he has on his site with each post. Curious, does having those letters give you guys a lot more insight than the rest of people, some with degrees from the "School of Hard Knocks", still waiting on their Mavericks? Apparently, you think so or you would not tell us about your educational "achievements".
Just saying.....
