Sadly Ditch the Hitch for a Hybrid Order

[TedTX]

Get the factory hitch. It'll be such a pain and way more expensive to do later.

This….. shouldn’t be ever a constraint.

After more information from @fordvideoguy going to add it back on. Just looking more and more like I am going to be out of luck.

Based off of the idea they build 77,800 Mavericks Ford will build 27,230 Hybrids out of 77,800 (35%).

45% are planned to be built as XLT or 12,253

That’s means
3,063 lux with Hitch 25%
2,450 hitch stand a lone option 20%
6,739 without a hitch 55%

As much as I want a hitch seems like ditching the hitch gets the odd of getting a hybrid 35% higher. But in general 1 out 6739 builds seems like it will be a big ask. Guess I will have to hope the dealership gets stock and give up on the hybrid or just do something different unless I get really lucky. But I also teach history so my math skills may be flawed.

DO NOT DITCH THE HITCH,

Yep, agreed. We all have our theories. I am still on team-alloction. Meaning, lots of people are doing a lot of napkin math spreadsheets and charts talking about this and that option and trim, but I think the biggest thing, and the only one that is really dealing with actual known variables, is knowing your dealers allocation : order ratio.

There are a lot of dealers with more orders than allocations, so buh bye to those orders. With those orders gone, that gives a significant amount of build flexibility for the remaining orders.

Pay the price and take your chances

I’ve decided to keep my hitch, for now anyways. I talked to my salesman this morning and he said he talked to his inventory manager about this. They don’t think it should make a difference at this time and recommend leaving the order alone.

Order what you want and take your chances. No sense waiting for a truck that you don't really want.

I added it back to my order today. I still left the spray-in-bed liner off just since ordering a hybrid it is starting to be a long shot. I may have to consider an EcoBoost Maverick or a Colorado 4x4.

I'm in not hurry so far. Current older vehicles running fine. So leaving my XL Hybrid as I ordered (prior to even knowing about this site or any constraints). There are many: 360, mud flaps, SIBL, hitch, sliding window and the inverter. It probably won't get built anyway as it's a hybrid.

I do agree with leaving the SIBL off. Don't add anything you can add yourself.
