Who will be first to confirm a 2023 VIN has been issued?

[Last Truck Ever]

Extremely skeptical Something smells like a ruse.

Agreed, if for no other reason than if there were one, there'd be a bunch more, all at once. They gonna' run the line just for one guy's truck?

@Dave's Mav does have a Tremor on order.

Not jealous, just skeptical: this same guy says he got a 2022 delivered in under 6 months. No receipts or photos for anything. Weirdly specific thing to spend time bragging about if untrue, luckiest guy alive if real. Not casting judgment, but my bullshit meter is at like, 69% until I’m proven wrong.

I got my 2022 XL EB in 4 months. Ordered 1/5, VIN on 1/20, scheduled 2/3, built 3/9, shipped 3/10, and delivered 4/4. Hoping for the same on my 2023 Hybrid but know it is not likely.

Have we decided on whether this was legit? Out of all the people on this forum just one has gotten a notice? There should be at least two or three if Ford is genuinely doing their first run scheduling as there would be more capacity to take.

I think without a VIN i don't believe it.

You have receipts to back it up at least ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

P.s. I’m not out for a witch hunt against the guy saying his 2023 truck is built, I don’t actually care, I just have a lot of time on my hands and think this is a fun internet mystery so I’m going along with it to see if it’s bullshit or not. I want it to be true tbh

Oh I agree 100%, we need more proof. I was just saying it is possible but not real probable. Still hoping for the best for everyone.

I will say this: in his livestream, Tim said Ford was not doing MY23 Maverick scheduling this week. That and the lack of other examples are the reason a lot of people are skeptical. There is also the drive-by nature of the post. It's not hard to fake an email, especially if all you have to do is change the dates.

Not saying it is impossible that Ford is already scheduling Mavericks. Just that based on the evidence presented so far, it appears unlikely.

It isn't a guarantee, but it doesn't look to be a photo-shopped photo based on the Error Level Analysis (ELA).....although all that would be needed to be photo-shopped would be the "3" in the model year and the "21" in the production week. Font looks to be the same....so a good fake if it is a fake.

You don't even need to go that far. All you need to do is pull up last year's email, change the dates in the text, and the screenshot it. It would appear as genuine because it technically is.

Look, someone who ordered a Maverick will be the first truck down the line. But the odds of it being someone in this limited community and someone who had unbelievable luck before just makes it a tad unbelievable until we see supporting evidence.

Or at least someone else confirm.

Ohhh.....did not think about simply editing the text of an old email. Is the font that easy to edit? Let's see what I can make. I'll be back with my Maverick Lightning VIN in a second.

The only reason I know is because we use that trick all the time to show off "samples" of our changes. It is much easier to just modify an existing email than to try to match the font size and kerning.

I just got my Maverick Lightning scheduling email! Check it out.
