Check out utube videos from Long McArthur Ford. Tim Bartz internet sales MGR does a great job of explaining Fords rational in the build process. It deals with Dealer Allocations, part constraint issues, late availability etc. Very informative and many videos updated weekly.
Yes, I've seen all those. Just think it's all BS. A custom order should be treated as such. Take care of current orders before pushing new orders ahead of them. I've seen my exact build ordered after mine and produced before mine.
Think of how all those people who ordered a first edition feel.
Mine is AWD Ecoboost, FX4, 360 and drop in bed liner.
How do you figure? I'd say it proves that Ford thinks FIFO is less efficient. They want to make the cars as fast and cost effective as they can. If it would have been more efficient and cheaper to produce, ship, and sell your Maverick first, they would have done that. If they produce your Maverick first at greater cost and less efficiency, then that delays the whole process and increases everyone's cost.
It's all done with computers. They know what materials they have on hand to produce a given number of trucks. Matching those materials to all trucks to be built isn't that hard to fathom. Factor in the dates in which those trucks were ordered shouldn't be that hard to schedule. That doesn't cost more to produce or make it less efficient.
Can't say I'm happy to hear that, but I *am* happy to hear that yours is now built and that you will be receiving it soon. Kudos to you for sticking it out. Well, my birthday is in June, so maybe I'll get it in time for that
if they don’t have a part needed for a build they are not going to shut down production until it arrives. They move on to the next order that they do have parts for.
