So XL production = 15% of that 40,000 = 6,000 LESS the number of 2023 XL ordered from all the 2022's hybrid & Ecoboost if any that were not built as 2022s! That number would be all that NEW 2023 orders that would be built. Then another question "Where is all the XL fleet orders factored in production?" Could have 10-20k of those???...???
I would surmise that MY23 production would increase somewhat significantly. Even Ford was blown away by the popularity of the truck, I can't imagine they wouldn't ramp up production by XX percent.
All orders say "early 23." Regarding the ordering process, Tremor ordering was never allowed on the 15th, opened afternoon of the 16th. Ford had major website issues with the huge influx of errors and nearly every dealership would have had a hard time during that process. I don't think some dealers were allowed and others not, its just a matter of when they placed the order.
It seems like the first successful posted Tremor went through around 4pm on the 19th, Wednesday. I also remember reading that tremor ordering would be opened several days after the others although no set time was given. I believe that volume of ordering all mavericks was six to 10 times faster than Ford imagined but have nothing to base that on. I was successful with a Tremor Lariat AWD PKG 500A and off road plus appearance package with cp360 and 400 watt inverter. Did not order spray in liner nor moon roof or anything else as I did not want to review further, I will make it do this way. I started order on Tues, 20th at 8:28am and had thank you for early order confirmation if I remember right about 9:17 after I left dealer. I later noticed I am at priority 19 but who cares. I will treat this like a lottery ticket purchase = if a mistake is made during purchase it may have been meant to be that way. If you want a different selection just buy another ticket. I cannot remember exactly but wasn't Tremor going to be only 3% of total planned production???
Another reality. The way Ford opened up ordering conversions and new orders at the same time without notifying conversion order holder, Ford screwed a disrespected those customers while saving money on all the private offers by all those disconnected held orders...shame on Ford.
Ford vidio guy said last night that ford will still be filling in the gaps with some left over 22,s well into Nov so even past the 14th with some extra holes to fill with some remaining 22,s Awesome may some of you will get lucky i sure hope so.It looks like ford is trying all they can!Just saw this on Facebook tonight.
Nice to see some positivity among all this negativity! I agree with you 100% and think people are full of panic needlessly right now and spreading the stress around. I say needlessly especially since they have no facts or official word from Ford, just a bunch of opinions, maybes and words from dealers who have proven time and time again that they are pretty much useless and know much of nothing about this process. I mean no disrespect but people really need to chill. Production hasnt even started and we will know more about the pace and restraints then. 2023's should be in better shape than the 2022's went at the very least.
Glad somebody understands. Hell, I work at a Ford plant. I can access AVS and still only the scheduler knows. how many units would be built in a given shift. Production shift length varies on a given day based on several factors. Nobody on here knows when or how many units are going to be built. If they do, they aren't going to say any more than you can read in a public press release.
