Yesterday, got email that my A51 XL hybrid got shipped.

Good to know about the tint lady place. I'm a California transplant so I'm very hesitant on tinting my front windows. Front window tint is a CHP magnet.FYI for you Whatcom county folks - I had my front window tint done at the Sunset Car wash Tiny Lady and they did a good job from what I can tell (first time I've ever had tint done in a car).
I skipped the spray in bedliner from Ford to get my truck sooner and found out only place to do it is at the LineX place in Mount Vernon.
Also Bellingham PD rolled up the other day on me in a warehouse parking lot and I thought I was in trouble - turns out the officer had ordered same color as mine and wanted to see it up close
BTW, I saw another Maverick when I was in Ferndale. It's an XL and same color as the one I saw in Bellingham. Makes me wonder if it's the same one.

I'm not, mostly because the wheel is not the same on the spare. And I'm sure the FX4 wheel is an ungodly amount of money. Ford wants over $500 for the steelies...not all 4. One.

Nice to meet you! I'll for sure see you around town and give you the wave!
Curious how your interaction went at Ford Bellingham with the buying process - so far I've gotten good vibes and they guarantee there's no mark ups, but would love to hear any thoughts since you went through it with them
Overall I’m happy with the experience. Payed MSRP and they made zero effort to upsell anything (extended warranties and such).
If you have a trade in I might suggest you shop around for offers before going in to the dealer. I feel like they slightly undervalued my trade in. For me the convenience of getting everything done in one afternoon was well worth it, though.

Hey wait a sec - I know who you are. Well we've never met but you helped me with some questions when I was hunting for a gravel bike. I'm Mike W's little brother.
Good to see you on the forum! -D

After not getting scheduled today (did not expect to since my order is pretty recent), figured I might as well ask my dealer what their order volume ended up looking like after things closed in late January. Worse than I thought. Haha.
They say they currently have 127 orders still waiting to be built. 50/50 ratio on hybrid to ecoboost. Say they don't known what their total order quantity was (basically saying they can't/won't disclose how many have been produced/delivered to them/reveal their allocation). Fair enough I guess!

Harris Ford in Lynnwood. I had never really thought about their order volume. Caught be a bit off guard that it is so high, since my order process was not super smooth/they were not super forthcoming when I asked for a screenshot of the approved ROVP etc.. I assumed they might have been lower volume and not as experinced with people asking them detailed questions about the internal things like ROVP and priority codes and all that. Good thing their volume is that high? Bad thing? Who knows.
I'm hoping those hybrids they have on order also have a SIBL, every Ford accessory available, a tonneau cover, and lux package. Haha. Increase my odds for my fairly basic EcoBoost.
Thanks for update. I went with Bowen Scarff since a few people had mentioned good experiences with them. Never thought to check how high volume a dealer they were and where I would be in the potential allocation pool for their dealership. Fingers crossed.
They do an insane amount of volume. It's also part of the reason why they don't play games with pricing on custom orders.
When did you order if you don't mind me asking? I ordered early July and got it early December.
