So I ordered a hybrid Maverick in the dealership back in August. Never heard a single thing from Ford. No order confirmation, nothing about the hybrid delay, nothing. So I called the number provided in the big hybrid forum post the other day, finally talked to someone. Gave them my sales code and order number but they couldn't find any record of the order.
She did say it is common for dealers to change out the order number. So I contacted the dealership again and they sent me an updated order number and a VIN. This got me a bit more excited, but upon checking the Ford order status page, I see this...

Which says Ecoboost engine. So did my dealership redo my initial order which created a new number and select the wrong drive train? Or is this maybe a hiccup and when the window sticker is available it will be correct?

Ideas?
I stop by my dealer at least every other week. Last week he gave me a printout of where I am in the que. Gotta get in their face a bit.
Ordered my XLT hybrid in October and I haven't heard squat from Ford. haven't yet seen one in the wild.

Well after calling the dealership they realized they screwed up. And since it already had a VIN, no way to change it. So they put in another order for a hybrid, to be met with a message stating hybrid engines were all allocated (paraphrasing) which we all knew. So now I get to decide if I want to take an ecoboost model in a month or so or wait until the 2023 model year, or say screw it all, walk to blocks and buy a frontier.

Fun fun

From a Ford Maverick Hybrid to a Nissan Frontier.......big jump. GOOD CHOICE THOUGH!!! I am getting both. The Maverick Hybrid for in town and the Frontier for towing a travel trailer.

I think they are trying to screw you and flip your order for a profit.
