The addition of 4 Hybrids made my reaction flop toExcellent. We need hybrids!
Whoever overruled that moron regional manager who only previewed 2.0Ls should get a big thank & cold one.

What does "entire allocation" mean? Does this mean all your orders? How many orders have not been scheduled at this time? (Yes, I do have an order with Granger, 2.0 Lariat).our entire allocation
none today@Dealerinsider, have any First Editions been previewed?
I'll just go back to playing my sad trombone over here ...none today
If these are for October builds, plenty of time to manufacture and ship hybrid CVT to Hermosillo, so not really a constraint.Maybe because only about 3-400 hybrid transmissions have been manufactured? I’d call that a constraint.
I am not saying there are not other limits, but in chemistry it is definitely what we would call a rate limiting factor.
Just in time delivery counts on a lots of things, including hold time at the boarder and shipping clearance. I think we are generally looking at 6 weeks out. So what is manufactured today should be installed in 6 weeks including QC and all steps in between.If these are for October builds, plenty of time to manufacture and ship hybrid CVT to Hermosillo
Does anyone know how many Mavericks Ford produces on average in a day?8/11 Update:
todays preview update...
4 2.0's dropped off...4 2.5's added
8/10 Update:
Previewing day update…sad news for you hybrids… all 2.0s previewing.
But good news… I have over 30 retail 2.0s and no stock orders are previewing… only retail sold orders.
Keep in mind this can change by Thursday.
In the current spool-up mode probably a few hundred a day when the line fires up for retail units.Does anyone know how many Mavericks Ford produces on average in a day?
Mine has been previewed for 3-4 weeks and nothing@Dealerinsider, have any First Editions been previewed?
Correct. Just what we were allocated this month.not all the orders, just what Ford has allocated to you for the month? So 20-30-40 orders out of the (probably) hundreds you have?
I was basing my comment on what I had read about the 139 transmissions ordered for one week supply. Seemingly the transmission factory is sitting on its hands, awaiting JIT order from the assembly plant. Given that, I expect there's some sort of assembly problem. Of course this could all be bovine excretia.Maybe because only about 3-400 hybrid transmissions have been manufactured? I’d call that a constraint.

I think it is the other way around. 139 were produced, not ordered. Think it’s a supply issue at the sub component level as well as QC testing delay.I was basing my comment on what I had read about the 139 transmissions ordered for one week supply.

Not the way I read Post #1: 139 Maverick eCVT transmissions built last weekI think it is the other way around. 139 were produced, not ordered. Think it’s a supply issue at the sub component level as well as QC testing delay.
the transmissions would not be scheduled for an entire period if they only had orders for 130ish
but again, you are correct there may be something else in the mix. I suspect though we will see the hybrid transmission numbers increase rapidly very soon.
