Official bulletin: reorders and 2022's. 2023 order banks open September further confirmed

[teh603]

Meanwhile, some of us didn't get to order a 22 in the first place, and are now having to wait even longer to place our orders.

Anyone that could still write or proofread text probably has retired. No one under 30ish cares or knows how......................

The irony of your grammar is a beautiful thing.

My dealer sent me a copy of this today. Nice to see something official from Ford. Now we hope those of us with yet unscheduled 2022 orders still get ours soon. It looks like September before the 2023 order bank opens.

Does anyone have a friend at FMC that can get into the website and get a clean copy of both pages. I went to FMCdealer.dealerconnection.com to no avail. I saw that retirees may have acess.

No effect as they will build the remaining MY22 orders first, so no effect.

Not no effect. It may not effect when we get the truck. But we are missing the financing rate of 2.9%, plus any cost increases if applicable. I am a little annoyed we are missing the financing special. Not foaming at the mouth I'll survive, but it's not a 0 impact either.

Much more likely that the boomer that wrote the memo is stuck in the 80s typing this on MS DOS.

IAM a boomer still using a quell.

When was this posted? Surely not in 2022 because it looks like a facsimile from 1989 for the Econoline.

The AI app automatically updated the vehicle and posted in 2022!

Or a Facsimlie from an actual 1989 Econoline.

What do think will happen first? Ford hires a proof reader or your Maverick gets scheduled?

3rd option: more likely hell will freeze over

Purely a guess, but however many weeks ordering is moved from August 2, then I expect the same number of weeks pushed out for production start.

For example, if order banks open on September 13 (six weeks from August 2), then 2023 Maverick production may start on December 5, instead of October 24. That would technically still be Fall, 2022.

Six weeks is a significant length of time to build more 2022 Mavericks.

But again, all just a guess.

Getting scheduled and hell freezing over kinda a guess at this point.

I'm thinking your 3rd option is closer.

Maybe. But I think Ford was just trying to eliminate the cross-over issue where folks with a MY22 order were being asked to place an order for MY23 but could still get scheduled for MY22. That looked like a potential disaster in the making.

More concerning is people with scheduled weeks getting pushed back. That seems to indicate that parts that were expected to arrive did not or some other recent unexpected disruption. That might force them to delay MY23 production as they did not complete the number of MY22's they expected to.

Well, I did go to my dealer today. But was able to get some other questions answered (what to expect for tag fees, etc) for my own purchase planning. I was also able to get a copy of the schedule that they had just gotten today, so here it is for everyone else.

Of course, it had the expected disclaimer that dates that haven't been reached yet may change. My apologies for the left-side being clipped, but that is how I received it.
