You could just get a eco boost new from the lot now(hard, but can get for little to no adm).

Leave the hybrid order as-is. If schedule, you can sell that or trade the eco

If you want the hybrid and not just a Maverick, I suggest you wait for what you ordered. You will get it eventually, whether it is a 2023 or 2024 model year.

The decision also depends upon the condition of your current daily driver.

I went in the opposite direction. I was undecided between an XL Hybrid and an XL Ecoboost with AWD when I ordered on 2021/09/11.

I ordered and received an XL Hybrid on 2022/08/13.

I decided shortly after receiving it that I liked how a friend's Ecoboost with AWD drove better than the Hybrid. I sold the XL Hybrid and ordered an XLT EB AWD with the Black Appearance Package. I would have gone with an XL again, except I think the Black Appearance Package rectified the issues I had with the standard XLT interior.

I am not worried about depreciation on the EB AWD since I plan on keeping it. And, I expect it to lose value after I buy it since there will be stock orders built if Ford doesn't get enough retail orders.

Bottom line: If you can be patient, wait for the configuration you really want to arrive at the dealership. It's worth the wait to get exactly what you wanted.

If you do switch to an EV now, you probably will have a similar wait for the hybrid in MY24. That could get pushed to a MY25. I would expect you might be able to order an AWD hybrid by then, maybe even My24.

One flaw in that you say

If you don't get a 2023 I don't believe there is any roll over to a 2024 so you will have to order a 2024 and get in line with everyone else for that 2024 order I don't believe you will get any special treatment on a 2024 order if you had a 2023 order that never came so you may again not get a 2024 either.

MY personal decision on this would probably depend on the condition of my present vehicle. If you are worried about the cost of potential repairs (possibly for as long as the next two years) and cost of daily driving, I would consider the switch.

You may not get the 23. Ford clearly stated there will be no 23 to 24 rollovers, first in line, like this year. You may be playing the same game for a 24. Hopefully supply constraints will lessen but I think the demand for hybrid will still exceed supply capabilities.

I heard the constraint is the battery. That seems ridiculous.

You are probably right. The OP might not lose their place in line if the dealer manages the prioritization of orders properly. The OP would not, however, get any price protection.

I suspect the OP's configuration might get built depending on region and dealer allocations. It looks like XLT/Lariat configurations are getting prioritized earlier than the XLs.

It sure makes you wish someone designed a way for people to submit their configuration, region, and dealer information and updates when Built, Shipped, and Arrived (at dealer) happens. We could start doing some worthwhile trend analysis.

FWIW, my 23 XLT EB AWD should arrive at the Mira Loma CA depot tomorrow since it entered California this morning. Nobody knows how long it will take for a truck to pick it up from the rail yard to the dealer. The 22 XL Hybrid took nearly a month to deliver (in August 2022). Yet, my wife's 2022 Escape PHEV only took 5 days to go from the Mira Loma rail yard to the same dealer (in April 2022).

I switched from a twice ordered XL Hybrid to a Tremor XLT and I am SUPER excited for it.

Unless you can't wait out the delivery timetable, why? Let Ford tell you they can't deliver and let them switch the order if you still want one.

This is the same message everyone who has a confirmed order gets prior to VIN and scheduling. Basically means no progress... Sorry to be a buzz kill but you deserve honesty.

Thank You

If i change to a maverick hybrid to ecoboost with awd. What priority code should i have dealer put on the order? How long before I would get it? JUNE?

Depends on the dealership. Tim made it sound in the stream last night you most likely get scheduled in March or April and then would get your truck probably in a month after that. So June would see to be a safe bet.
