You have a build date, even though changed and you describe that as a dreaded email? I ordered September 18 and have no VIN, no build date and no hope… I wish I had the dreaded email you received.
You’re one of the lucky ones and has at least received an email that your order is in the works. I ordered Oct. 9th last year and still nothing from Ford. At this point looks like mine will roll over into the MY23. I did however get a bit of somewhat good news from my dealer. He says my order has dropped down to “priority code 2” from the 19 where it has been at since ordering. You must have ordered the Eco 2.0 without constraints. I ordered the hybrid Lariat Lux with 360. All constraint items.
Yes my truck has no constraints. Just a XLT FWD
Another concern of mine is by the time we get ours is the interest rates, how will they be?
I really do sympathize for you. I never thought ordering my maverick it would take this long since this is the second time I've special ordered a truck from Ford. First time was back in 2005 so wasn't expecting it to go this way.
You should have price protection and the interest rate at the time of your order. It is on the smart vincent. There are several threads on the topic but your dealer should honor those agreements if you entered into the agreement with your custom order.
my order was 6/10/21 just built 8/8/22 I think! The chips are active but Ford still says in production for the last week. Good luck my friend.
Have you called Ford Marketing. I have never received an email but about a month ago I called and they gave me a VIN # and build date. I ordered a Hybrid, Lariat, Lux, Co pilot, SIBL on October 26.
