This is getting ridiculous

[Hope will get]

The problem is probably more to do with the fact that Ford and Ford dealers are separate entities. Ford seems to only care that their customer gets a vehicle. You AREN'T Ford's customer. You are your dealer's customer. Ford's customer is their dealer.

While this is not 100% accurate, it would explain why a vehicle can leave as "Built" but really, it's still being worked on albeit by some 3rd party to install film, tonneau cover, etc. Ford seems to lose interest in keeping the end customer in the know about their vehicle.

Not that this would ever be the case but wouldn't it be nice if once your vehicle came off the main line, Ford would activate some kind of active tracking and provide the dealer AND final customer, if there is one, with the ability to log in and see where there vehicle is? Sort of like the Apple Tags, Tile, Lowjack or, heck, Tesla type of tracking capability.

Shoot, while I'm at it, why not pick the major component, tag it immediately, and provide camera feeds within the factory? I mean, the feed could be delayed - lets say one day and you could go in and watch your vehicle being put together, painted, etc. at a sped up pace. Shoot, make it a paid service and offer it as a package on ordering, "Active vehicle tracking and build footage access, $200" New revenue for Ford? You heard it here first. Ford, I require no royalties for the "new" idea. Well, maybe let me watch my truck being built. LOL

I actually received a rail car number from Ford today but can do nothing with it as I have to be a trucker to access the information.

Do search on here. There are automated systems you can call to get the rail information if you have the railcar #.

So roughly 3 months from build to delivery??? I think we are fooling ourselves if we think we are getting these 23 orders before 3Q23

Received a 9/29 Built email, stated delivery window of tomorrow (10/14, which ain’t gonna happen) to 10/20 (also ain’t gonna happen).

The 7th O/U (entertainment only) date for Family & Friends to drive it off the Dealer’s lot of Halloween is likely to move to the 8th, and final, date of Thanksgiving…2022. Somewhat appropriate.

I’ve begun a system of feeding appropriate MTC memes to my salesman, 1 a day. Lovely.

Im !ike you brothers and sisters I just don't understand ?????. Ford has been making the 2022 Maverick for a Year and a half Why ??? There has been so many problems and it seem like it's all on the CUSTOMER waiting a year plus for our Mavericks , chip hold ,epa hold gas tanks , motor shield ,airbags it just never stops and keeps going on and it looks like the 22s to ,23s rollovers are going to be even worse same problems with constraints, parts and also took way too many orders then they can make Mavericks for .!! The biggest thing for me is FORD stated and promised they have made a Mistake in not communicating with us and promised to do a better job and when you do get an email no offense it's just a bunch B.S. like a politician wrote it so basically it's no communication at ALL . The real Crime is (The Maverick Is One Hell Of A Truck ). FORD you need to get your crap together get one hell of a lot BETTER QUALITY CONTROL. DIG UP SOME PARTS AND PUT SOME NUMBERS OUT LIKE ,10,000 PLUS MAVERICKS A MONTH.. You had a winner the first time with the Maverick in the 70s you know what I'm talking about some of us old farts know the real story between the Maverick and the Mustang in the 70s . I hope you will get it together and make close to 100,000 remaining 22 and 23 customers happy customers and not disappointed customers.

Glad you brought this up as I thought i was the only one left waiting. Built Aug 31st and awaiting shipping as everyone else in this group. Customer chat and CS says it is still at the factory. Etas keep getting pushed back now Nov 9th. On a Maverick facebook group a guy from ford says its because of a trucker shortage.. My dealer knows nothing. Glad i have another car to drive.

I would think you would get yours sooner then some others as it looks like your from California. Close to the plant.

It is due to situations like the above posts that I went ahead and purchased a 2022 Mav off a dealer's lot this weekend. I paid sticker [$30,990] plus $1800 for pre-installed useless extras but in Southern California where dealer price adjustments are $7500-$9500 above sticker, that is a fair deal. $1800 is just a couple of hundred bucks over the price increases for 2023 models . I have a confirmed FordMoCo"order received" email for a 2023 Mav Lariat Hybrid but speculation is I may get it in 2024. So I am enjoying my oxford white Lariat 2.0L EB with sunroof. It does not have the lux pkg and I miss XM radio but other than that, it is a joy to drive as a daily driver. Got the Line-X sprayed bedliner for $500, $5 above the factory option price.

Will be interesting to see who actually gets a 23 and when, and if they will actually build more than a couple Tremors -
