Got mine yesterday (484 days from order to driveway).

Woohoo! Love that blue color, enjoy

Mine only took 2 weeks from built to delivered (I'm in LA). It will depend on your ship date, and whether the truck gets held for a while at different railyards. I probably got a bit lucky, but you could feasibly see your truck by the end of the month.

You were on the nose Clive. Shipped 2/16 arrived at the dealer 2/23. This is the first time I was amazed at the efficiency, esp. since I read other stories of shipping taking months.

Hey gang. I picked her up today. 499 days and over half of them I wondered if I would ever get it. Didn’t add or drop anything. Stand alone hitch and 360 Only thing I had to change was the color, velocity blue to atlas blue.
Keep the faith, eventually your Mavs will come too

I finally got my Maverick last Friday. Needless to say I'm very pleased with the vehicle. Currently getting 43.6 MPG .

OOOOOWWWWEEEE!! 17 months later, I have my Carbon Gray XLT Hybrid in front of the house. I held out for the Hybrid so was rolled over to '23 after 4 moves. My reading is Ford was 6900 hybrid engines short to fulfill the hybrid orders at the end of the year. Fortunately, I got a new date for the week of 2/13/23 and it was built 2/15/23 and then shipped on 2/16/23 and it was at the dealer today 2/23. Seven days from the Mexican factory to Orange County, CA! Seems as though when Ford has the parts they can be very efficient. 7 days from Mexico to LA? Like I said ooowwweee!

At my dealer now, just test drove my maverick. It's nice, but really cheap feeling compared to my Santa Cruz. I'm seeing what they'll give me for trade in, but I doubt I'll switch. It's really bittersweet, I ordered October 14th 2021.

After 480 days my Maverick is here and paperwork is done. They're keeping it to do the sibl and then I'll post pictures. Shout out to Junge Ford in North Liberty, Iowa. No hidden fees took my private offer off the price of the truck right then. Good experience

Hopefully the October Hybrid Club , without their trucks yet is getting much smaller. Hard to believe some are still not built.

Change of plans, the dealer offered me a great trade value on my Santa Cruz, and I got the rebate. Combined with a bunch of equity in the SC, I'm out the door under 16k can't believe I finally have my XL hybrid!

Sept Order...cactus grey lariat..loaded..even BAP...2 emails with the constraints story...got a feeling it's gonna be a long wait. They better hope Toyota dont come out with their Maverick competitor before mine comes in.

Please let us know what happens and how much the offer is.

Please let us know what happens and how much the offer is.

I got a $2750 rebate which put the MSRP a bit lower than it would've been if they had gotten my maverick built in 22 like I expected . The offer for my Santa Cruz was within several hundred of what I paid for it. I was really torn, because I did like my SC, it really is a nicer vehicle, the interior and things you touch like door handles, tailgate handle, hood, etc absolutely spank the maverick in terms of quality. It's not even close.

The ride between the 2 is near identical, even my wife said the same. The maverick is significantly louder at 55 than the SC, but the visibility in the maverick is much better. The mavericks bed is much bigger too (I REALLY WISH I had thought of taking a pic of the backs with the tailgate's down.)

My SC had the base engine, I wouldn't say it was underpowered, but it definitely wasn't powerful. Neither is the maverick hybrid, but it does feel like it has more torque pulling away from lights, up hills, etc. It feels much more responsive in reverse too, my SC always seemed sluggish and unresponsive in reverse. I'm perfectly satisfied with either ones power.

There's probably a few more things I could mention, but I've only had the maverick for a day, and I really haven't had time to check out all the settings and things. I'll be looking at everything in it on Tuesday when I have time.

Thanks @Pikey87 for posting and look forward to more. My feeling is the SC is nicer but out of my price range, even with getting the Lariat 22 Lux package. Really wanted the adaptive cruise control and lane centering along with the upgraded sound, spray in liner and all the stuff , including the trailer hitch. Another key is felt the Maverick was more useful with the bed. Then of course for me the hybrid so I did not sacrifice fuel economy to get back into a truck. Hope you enjoy your Maverick and nice it only will cost a few hundred driving the SC around. It might have spoiled you on the luxury comfort and appeal.
