Ordered 3 Mavericks - Different Dealerships

[gte105u]

The problem with the Non Factory hitch is apparently there is no after market wiring adapter that works without causing issues, at least thats my understanding from post on this forum. Plus there much cheaper from the factory. I maybe wrong but i think the best bet from a production standpoint is the XLT trim and if you get the lux pkg it comes with the hitch which is not a constrained option where the plain hitch is a constraint. The XL trim and the hybrid do not have very planned production quantities. XLT is the sweet spot as I see it from Ford's production plan. This is all my understanding, it incorrect maybe others can chime in and correct. Good Luck with your plans!

Curt adapter is confirmed to work. That was a myth started by a salesman on a podcast but not true as confirmed my multiple fonts who have done it. Maybe there is no Ford produced way to do the wiring but there is an aftermarket way.

That said, I'd still get the hitch from the factory. If spending the money on XLT is option, why not Ecoboost XL? It'll get built, add the factory hitch, and move on.

Otherwise XLT with luxury package is the way to go. A hybrid XL is possible but a big maybe.

Hello All,

I’m located in NE Texas and ordered a Maverick from 3 dealers the first hour the order banks opened in Sept. 22 after trying to secure a 2022 hybrid XL from dealerships within 250 miles of me for months. All the 2022 hybrids had a large markup. My orders were all Cactus Gray XL hybrids with only trailer hitch added. One got scheduled on 11/23/22, had an estimated build of 12/19/22, but built 01/04/23 and has shipped. The other two orders are confirmed by Ford with email communications of delays every 45 days. So, I switched one XL order to an XLT recently when I saw the XL hybrids were oversold. Was this a good move? Should I switch the other open order to an XLT to increase the likelihood of a quicker production? Or, does making a change cause further delays?

Just curious since you ordered 3 Mavericks from different dealers. Do they run your credit when you order a Maverick? Just wouldn't want my credit score affected by this. Thanks.

Changing from XL to XLT should NOT re-set your order date. According to @fordvideoguy, changing the chassis type from FWD to AWD (or Tremor 4WD) is the trigger that WOULD cause your order date to re-set. Staying with the hybrid, but moving from XL to XLT should improve your odds slightly, but hybrids are still way over-sold, so who knows if you will or will not get your truck?

Changing from hybrid to eco - and keeping the FWD setup (same chassis type) should not re-set the order date. But even if it does, I believe that because Hybrids are over-sold and Ecoboost is under-sold, re-setting the order date should not really matter.

Your odds would improve by moving from hybrid to ecoboost, even if you also switched to AWD (which would definitely re-set your order date).

I've said that trim, motor, and body type will all change your order date.

Thanks for the correction. I must have misunderstood.

No, they don't run your credit. Ford only runs your credit if you're financing a vehicle - they generally don't even discuss how you're paying or if you're financing until the order arrives.

If you want a hitch, do the $100 option! I'm currently waiting on Ford to send me hitch #3.

The first one came loose without a box or hardware

The second looked like a return and was dinged/scratched and had over-spray all over it.

Mind you, these were like $300 shipped...

Just my non partial observation here but if the old boy can pay ca$h for 3 Mavericks and then give them away for 10 dollar bills I would say he couldn't give two hoots in hell about credit check hits on his report.

One more thing here. Dear OP, are you by any chance looking for another son-in law? I am available, I do not eat much, very quiet and do not snore. Please reply via PM if you find these terms acceptable.
