No Maverick Scheduling This Week (3/9/23) + Key Constraints

[OTACORB]

I'm gunna respectfully disagree with you on this one. I'm at more than 500 days and still unscheduled. There a boat load of folks who ordered back in September 2022 that already are driving their trucks. . . and there a a good number of people that ordered in 2021 that haven't even been scheduled yet.

I agree with you 100% and this is due to the crappy allocation setup that they have in place. It is the MOST utterly ridiculous BS that I have ever seen in my life. There should be no one with previous 2022 orders still waiting.

What is crazy is I ordered my truck on 9/21/22 the last day the order banks was open. My truck has been built as of 3/6/23. But it's because I am with a smaller dealership that has allocations. They had ZERO 2022 at this dealer that didn't get built, so no roll overs.

I’m just like you at day 505. Was scheduled last December before 22 orders cancelled. Now a rollover 23 order. It’s unbelievable our 22 orders are still waiting while new 23 orders are scheduled ahead of us

Why won't Ford honor 22MY orders first?
Could that special offer have something to do with it?
With all the quality issues on both drive options and economy changing, EV changeover lacking, Billions for Blue City, Ford may be in survival mode.
At this point I am losing interest, Ford and dealer have played games with my order. They on their own changed my order from D443 to an E443 way after the rollover.
I am guessing that Ford has overextended itself and can not even make an imported vehicle without blackmailing customers to change to high end orders for their economy truck.
Made stock holders money though.

Guess you could go to a Hyundai dealer and drive off with a Santa Cruz today, with a discount.

Let me start out by saying that I totally feel for the 400/500 day plus club. I just ordered in September 2022. I did not think I would be waiting this long to be scheduled. Base model EB, not a Lariat Hybrid with crazy options that have been constrained for a year or more. When the estimated breakdown of EB/hybrid orders came out, I thought it would be midspring when I got my truck. Sold my Ram in October. Pretty much missing the spring fishing season now. Starting to look like I won't even get my truck until midsummer at the earliest which will impact some plans. Was the scheduling like this last year with weeks at a time with no new trucks scheduled?

Both trucks have pros and cons for me. In some ways I like one better than the other and vice versa. But I'm starting to see that the only REAL difference between the Maverick and the Santa Cruz is that I can actually have a Santa Cruz in my driveway or I can have the hopes and dreams of potentially being scheduled a Maverick build date some day.

I don't think the Maverick is the best thing since sliced bread. It does have its flaws, but I do prefer it. In the end, I just need a small, four door, AWD with a small bed that gets somewhere in the mid 20s fuel mileage. Both check those boxes. But with 0% APR for 48 months at MSRP deal through 4/3/23, the Santa Cruz is starting to look like the more likely option.

Problem solved.

Ford used to be better than this, this is not acceptable, 490 days and counting.

 

[JimmyH]

Problem solved.

Maybe I'll just hold out one more week.

 

[BG43017]

It’s been 507 days since I placed my initial order all I have to say is Ford Motor Company!!!

 

[cavemold]

[cavemold]

I'm always shocked how mad people are when Ford doesn't do scheduling. Because production continues uninterrupted, and whether you get told this week or next does it matter when the build date would be the same?

I agree with the theory earlier in the thread that Ford may be having Order Database issues.

My Mav was scheduled Feb 9th for the week of Mar 27 with the VIN provided, so at that point I began checking the Order Tracker regularly. Shortly after that the Tracker showed it scheduled for the week of Mar 31 (for a few days). Then it went back to week of Mar 27 again.

This morning it was showing week of Mar 28, and this afternoon it is not even recognizing my Order Number and VIN as valid.

I'm not overly concerned about my Order yet, but I'm curious if others are encountering similar issues, especially today.

I think people are more worried because the longer you remain unscheduled the more likely it is that Ford is going to cancel your order. It's going to happen to at least 10,000 plus people, especially hybrid orders. I think people would be fine without being currently scheduled as long as they knew Ford intends to schedule them this year.

Hey man no common sense opining in this thread. LOL

Seriously this allocation BS Ford does is what creates these stupid long wait times. My truck is a Hybrid Lariat with lux, 360 assist and remote start. Why would I get scheduled before someone else with the same or lesser build rolled from 2022. . It’s BS! Now I am not complaining cause I am happy mine just got built, but people are tired of Fords shenanigans.
