Does anyone know why The Maverick Hybrid model is so constrained? Which parts are unattainable for Ford? They could easily sell 200,000 more Hybrids if they could build them per year. I placed an order for one on the 3rd day the order banks were open, and have less than 50% chance of it getting built. Ford is now shipping them to Brazil too.

Honestly I loved the way a 429 felt compared to the 460's.

I think Ford is trying to get many of the 2022's built as they can. I hope my 23 order can get built sometime next year!

I keep seeing posts like these, and posts saying 2023's start date keeps moving further out. It's crazy that they still are building orders placed 14 months ago.

Just think how many vehicles they could sell if people weren't waitng 12-14 months just to hear their order won't be built. Many move on long before then. They need to double production on those Mavericks. They could sell 300K a year if they could build them.

Looks like Ford took 86,000 Maverick orders in the 5 days the order banks were open. Probably 50,000-70,000 of the 86,000 are hybrid orders. https://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/ford/2022/10/04/ford-sales-q3-maverick/69537684007/

Lots of errors there so far too. Better than nothing though.

Does anyone know how many 2023 Maverick orders were placed, and what percentage were Hybrid/EB? The Mavericktruckclub forum poll shows 71-72% of members ordered the hybrid. With total builds of hybrids limited to just 35%, I'm just wondering if I have half a chance at actually seeing the Mav Hybrid I ordered. Did Ford accept a full year worth of orders (100,000+) or just 50,000 now?

We all thought the order banks would be open for 2-3 months at least. Glad I ordered on the 3rd day.

I Wondered the same thing. I hope I get my 23, as it was too late to order a 22 hybrid. Who knows, if Ford doesn't come up with a plan I may not get a 23 or 24.

I only hope they figure out how to get supplies to build more. They grossly underestimated the hybrid demand. And so far, have done nothing to help for 2023 that I can see.

Ford has said they can only build 35% of the years production available as Hybrids. Ford has now cut off ordering, and dealers and forum polls are showing about 80% of all orders received are for Hybrids. How will Ford ever catch up with demand? Or are we just going to have to order year after year in hopes of getting one? Many people didn't receive their 2022 Hybrid orders for this year, and I ordered a 2023. I have no idea whether Ford will build it or not.

As a former Thunderbird owner, I often wondered why this wasn't done sooner. Not like the showroom queens of that ended in 2005 though. Those sold horribly because every dealer thought that they were worth $10-$20K over sticker. They were nothing special underneath. Below are pics of ones Like I had. These are same colors and body styles. Both had 429's, the 68 had a 429 CJ swapped in.

Perfect, thanks. So they will not be the XL seats as others have thought.

I guess you don't understand what I am asking. Some have said the upgrade will just be the same black cloth seats as in the the XL. I find it strange that they would put the same base seats in a XLT truck that first charges for upgraded seats, then charges more for an upgrade from the standard XLT seats. I was hoping they would be a real (even if minor) upgrade such as the sport cloth seats used in other models, or at least had different embellishments or piping. Why doesn't Ford give us a damn picture so we know what to order? If you are going to give the same answer, just ignore my question, and let someone who understands respond.

But will those "upgraded" black seats be nicer than the Base XL seats, or downgraded to base XL seats which are black onyx.

It shouldn't be the standard XL seats (Only trim with black cloth) in an XLT or Lariat.

Why hasn't Ford shown interior pics of the Black accent interior, specifically the seats? I'd like to know if it is worth it.

Still dropping a couple cents everyday. In the City of chicago is higher, but cheaper in the suburbs where I live.

This was my guess for quite a while too. It makes too much sense not to.

I had a 87 Escort wagon once with a 4 speed and sunroof. That thing would easily get the speedo past the straight down position. Got 35mpg on trips too. I picked it up as a junk for $50. it was clean, with 218K miles. Just needed a fuel pump. I drove it for a year and a half, sold to my sister, then it went to a friend. he sold it to someone in Colorado. All it ever needed was brakes, tires, and clutches.

Hopefully we get the order guide soon!

Just under $4 in the Chicago suburbs, but getting a little lower each day!
