The Splash Guard Constraint Issue Cracks Me Up

[V-blue Mav]

Get a load of this. I ordered my 22MY Lariat Lux Hybrid with the 360, all weather floor mats and that NASTY constrained item . . . splash guards, Oct 9, 2021. I'm one of those thousands that were scheduled for December and now moved to January with the 22MY VIN. So you hear over and over about those constrained items that is holding up production. So I gave my dealer heads up that I will be dropping the splash guards and other constrained items for the new order that I hope to get in as soon as Ford opens up the order bank for 23MY (November sometime). So I went ahead and ordered from Ford Accessories the front and rear splash guards, thinking it could be 3-4 months before receiving them. I also ordered the all weather floor mats while I was at it. No mention lately about floor mats being a constrained item. Well, guess what . . . I received my ordered splash guards only after a week!!! Go figure. How is it that "Ford Accessories" (Ford's Parts Department) can get the splash guards but the Ford Factory can't??????? Unbelievable!!!! Oh, by the way, the floor mats are on back order. So all of you out there in Maverick Land thinking the floor mats are NOT a constrained item, think again. I have no idea what to tell ya concerning the splash guards. I'm now hoping to get my Maverick order so I have a vehicle to mount my splash guards on.

So, I had a similar experience with my Maverick order. Dealer proposed and I agreed to removing constraint items, bed mat and splash guards. Truck was built and shipped with splash guards! No bed mat though. Who do you believe on constrained items. I ordered non-carpeted floor mats a couple months with my points. They came in within a week....
