Anyone out there know which orders get priority at Ford. If a Maverick is reserved online, as soon as ordering is available, does that order get filled before an order originated at a dealership? Or do the dealer orders get priority?

I would assume that online orders are essentially pushed through a dealership. Ford is not legally allowed to sell vehicles direct to consumer. That being said, I think it is always is FCFS; unless you order a trim package that suffers from some sort of delay.Anyone out there know which orders get priority at Ford.

I would certainly hope that Ford doesn't plan on the same tactic they are using for the big Bronco. I reserved my Bronco 10/04/20, the dealer placed the order on 03/03/21. I'm so far down the line the dealer will call me again when the '22 order banks open, and we'll place the order again. So far in between all of those months it has been one thing after another, i.e. supplier problems, options on constraint because the supplier can't keep up, and Ford miscalculated the amount of particular options they would need. Throw in this damn new flu, and the micro chip shortage it has been a clusterF...........At first Ford says all those that reserved their Bronco will receive it before any dealer lot trucks are built. And that they would use the time/date stamp on the reservation to build ordered Bronco's using that as a priority. But, now that my not even happen.Anyone out there know which orders get priority at Ford.

That’s the best news in months! Thanks!We had our annual Govt Fleet meeting ,last week and the Maverick was covered. it will be about the size of the old Ranger. 5 passenger. late 2nd quarter reveal and order bank opening. 4th quarter marketing launch. That's about all they covered.

driven by parts availability like chips. no reason to put delivery dates out there-only to have them slip due to issues beyoned their control and make people here start threads about how they screwed up the launch with compounding errors and letting other companies beat them to marketNo delivery date?
I have had two dealers tell me they are not accepting X-Plan pricing on the Mavericks , at least not currently.I've purchased more vehicles (both new and used) than I can count in my lifetime. However, I have never ordered a vehicle. I have Ford X-plan pricing. Does anybody imagine I could negotiate better than X-plan on a brand new vehicle?
I know that dealers generally love orders because they are "almost" guaranteed sales without having to carry inventory so it is a financial win for them. But...I'm doubting they will be looking to dicker...
I ended up ordering on X plan. However, the largest Ford dealer in the area (who has 2 Ford dealerships) was not accepting X plan. I drove 15 minutes to a small town dealer and they had no issues and were awesome to work with. Candy Ford in Charlotte, MII have had two dealers tell me they are not accepting X-Plan pricing on the Mavericks , at least not currently.
