XLT Luxury Package Discrimination!

[Timothyd]

I hear you. There is SOME benefit to getting a MY23, in terms of being able to choose new colors, optons, etc. However, I typically keep and drive my vehicles 200,000+ miles. So, the year on the title is not that significant in terms of resale, trade, etc.

The worst thing about not getting the MY22 is losing the protected interest rates from this year and also potentially losing money depending on the amount of the private offer I receive vs. 2023 prices and the options I choose for my new order.

In this case, for me, it would be a case of the devil I know (MY22) perhaps being better than the devil I don't (MY23).

My dealer said I was locked into the rate I received when I first applied for the a loan last year. Just in case, I applied for loans at my banks.

Um.....maybe because the dealers are still in the dark as to what to do because there hasn't been any clarification to them from Ford? If your dealer reached out to you with this news but didn't have a solution would that make you feal any better?
I can only imagine how that conversation would go over........

That is how our world works, plenty excuses but are lacking in responsibility

XLT Lux Package sucker here! Seems it really didn't matter when you ordered it. Coming up on 13 months and still waiting. Private offer better be worth it!

Hindsight is 20/20. Who knew these trucks would be impossible to obtain? It is unfortunate how much I have learned about Ford's lackluster production and delivery process over the past 8 months.

I do realize Ford is not the only one impacted by constraints but I don't believe there is another auto maker with so many high-demsnd models and such an inability to meet that demand. From the Bronco to the Mach E to the Lightning to the Maverick Ford is great at designing exciting vehicles people want. But they are lousy at actually getting those vehicles into people's driveways.

You can make snarky comments if it makes you feel better about yourself but you'll have to forgive those of us who are frustrated by the reality we will be waiting 12-15 months at MINIMUM for a vehicle. If Ford told people that up front it would be a different story but...

Last year my dealer told me 8 weeks. But, I don't think he knew better at the time.

You give him more benefit than I do. When MY23 orders open up next month do you think dealers are going to tell people, "You can place an order but you probably won't see the truck for over a year."

Dont give up on the luxury xlt. The remote start on the fob is worth it by itself. Hitch and seats are nice too

 

[cavemold]

Man I'm sorry that happened to you , but its not like you didn't know this could happen right? They sent you email to take it off or to really consider it. Should you settle and take it off that's up to you. Obviously you didn't , which is fine but .. Its hard be mad when you what's coming and you can prevent it; is my point.

If luxury items are must for you just buy another truck. Rangers are easy to find, tacos, Colorado's, canyons all have these options that maverick has.

As much exes get blamed they can magically make chips. Their chip plants burnt to the ground...Its taken long time for them rebuild that and find the materials to make the chip again.

My advice would to not order lux for my 23. Would you say that's fair @fordvideoguy

 

[cavemold]

Obviously not anymore. Makes me hesitant to order a Lux package for 23. Bare bones Ecoboost XL might be the only truck they can build now or the foreseeable future.

This why i got my xlt Ecoboost bare bones i knew for fact ford couldn't produce the chips. So far I'm right.

Trust me, I won't. Then again maybe Ford won't even offer the luxury packages as currently constituted.

I mean they really shouldn’t … they can’t deliver it .

I ordered in November. There was no hindsight in that. Ford sucks balls.

Mud flaps are still constrained? The only time my dealer contacted me about my order, he said I should omit the mud flaps, so I agreed. Then, when my truck arrived, there they were. It’s a minor item, but I was happy the dealer lied to me about that. Not happy about all the other lies though.
