He's been here a whole 2 and a half months waiting......Ford is scheduled up on MY23 through the rest of the year and their first MY23 rolls off the line today. What more were you expecting?

Wow... Hitches are a problem again?
That is all on Ford. They should not have allowed for new 23 hybrid orders because of constraints.My theory has been that ford makes very little profit on the hybrids, but use them to meet the cafe standards numbers for selling more expensive larger trucks. They know what the target number of hybrid mavs to make is to off set the numbers for the larger trucks that have more profit, and that is all they need to make.
Care to cite a source on this?As someone else on this site said is Ford knew how many Mavericks they could build
Ford would never say that in an ad and tell the truth?, so we XL hybrib order holders are at their mercy.Am I then understanding that Ford is more likely to build a Lariat Lux BAP Hybrid than say an XL Hybrid/XLT Hybrid/Base Lariat Hybrid?
Ford is over capacity on the Hybrid, but not the other money making items.
So then it would make sense to sell the most expensive Hybrids first/at all right? This lets them sell the higher margin items rather than selling out on the lower trim hybrids first?
THe new Pruis powertrain, is it more powerful than what is in the RAV4?Well i also have an order in for a rav4 hybrid. Its really just a place in line rather than an order but we will see if toyota is any faster.
If you have a build date, Ford should be able to give you a VIN if you call.I called Ford a little over a week ago (a second time) just to check to make sure my order was still OK. She said it was in and all looked good, verified my information and said there were no dates.
I decided to call my dealer (first time) to ask about the order status and questioned priority codes. My sales person was going to check and call me back. She called me back within 5 minuets and told me it had a build date week of 12/05 and could see it by the end of the month. (surprised)
I ordered it on 9/17 XLT, Lux, AWD, Eco-boost. We will see what happens.
I have received no emails from Ford.
Do you really think Ford doesn’t know how many units they can produce?Care to cite a source on this?
A total number for the year, when they are dependent on various companies for parts…..I doubt they can forecast exactly how many they can build in a year. Decent estimate?…..sureDo you really think Ford doesn’t know how many units they can produce?
The market forecast was determined and contracts for all the components were locked in well before the start of production for a specific model year.A total number for the year, when they are dependent on various companies for parts…..I doubt they can forecast exactly how many they can build in a year. Decent estimate?…..sure
How many next month?….now that they should be able to get a better estimate
I am asking your source for believing this.Do you really think Ford doesn’t know how many units they can produce?
So more capacity for all 2.0 mavericks and less orders of Tremors just means that production of Tremors scheduled means that only a few tremors will be scheduled in any one week. Do not remember percentage of tremors (8%?) But probably if 1200 2.0's are scheduled to be built in one week then only 96 tremors will be scheduled for that week. The supply chain will be set up for parts to be delivered at the appropriate times.....constrained items can and will cause a short term adjustment when possible in day to day and week to week scheduling changes....I have a lariat Lux tremor order in for 2023 but heard nothing to date. Was kind of hoping with more capacity and less orders I might have heard something by now
When a customer cancels an order, and this is multiplied into the thousands, as is the case for the us market , and then not actually actually canceled as it should ,making it easier / quicker for those waiting to get a truck quicker . Ok , but that’s not the case the dealers receiving those abandoned orders, and raising the price 5000 to $12,000 this should be wrong or illegal,Ford actually tells you that when you research status of back orders on their sight , FMC dealer . They don't give you actual confidential info , but enough to determine that they are in a financial feud with supplier . As some have stated on here , it's no big deal to weld up some steel to make a hitch , but you do have to pay someone to do it .
I heard my first radio ad yesterday where a local Toyota dealer is making hay with "You shouldn't have to wait 6 months or a year for what you want!" Ford's built themselves quite the reputation.

now ,listen now the effect is walk in off the street
Get a truck they having never had order in period, at all!
That being said, if you had ordered a truck and took a early delivery of a truck ( somehow ). that’s one thing, but even then they didn’t cancel the order of the truck , they customer would of been getting ,then sell that one that you would’ve gotten eventually.
