FordBuyer Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 I'm going to speculate that with chip shortage getting worse with no end in sight, the production of the Maverick will be delayed to next year or to when the shortage improves. There is also a rubber/tire shortage. Why build the Maverick soon robbing production of $60,000 pickups and $45,000 Explorers? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worse than that, does Ford ask the same question of Escape, Bronco Sport, Bronco and Edge? Its down to how many sales to throw away just to keep the top profit earners going. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mullinax is down to about 1,000 with 80 of them 2020. By end of this month, desperation time will begin. And Used car prices are going through the roof. I'd rather bike than pay those prices....Example....2011 Ram 1500 with over 100,000 miles for $18,000+. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpd80 Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 It’s probably a good time to stay out of the market and just ride it out until supplies and prices come back to normal. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I read, both the chip and rubber shortages are going to get worse before they get better. I had planned to get into a new vehicle when my current '19 Nautilus lease ends at the beginning of 2022. Now I'm thinking I might just buy it out and wait another year. If a lot of people keep delaying purchases because the new vehicle they want just isn't available, then the shortages and surging prices for used vehicles will also continue to get worse.

Some folks over on Ranger 5G are selling 2019 &'20 Rangers to Carvana and buying 2021's with the Tremor pkg for very little extra. Some report getting more than they originally paid for them. But then again in my market Ford is advertising $6000 off on a 2021 Edge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be interesting to know whether your Lincoln is now commanding much higher price than originally predicted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blksn8k2 Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Seriously though, even the early Broncos had an optional swing-away spare tire mount that attached to the right side rear corner of the body. If the license plate were in the center the spare tire would have at least partially obscured it. You might also wonder why the license plate wasn't mounted in a recess in the bumper. Had they done that then they probably wouldn't have been able to use the same bumper front and rear (which they did). Every now and then function and cost win out over form. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, while we know a ton about the Maverick, we are not 100% sure about the various powertrains. It will probably have the 1.3 and 2.0 EcoBoosts...but it could also have the 2.5I4 and the 2.5I4-Hybrid. If the Maverick does have the Hybrid option, wouldn't it make sense to also reveal that the Bronco Sport will get that powertrain option? It also wouldn't surprise me if the Maverick has some fun/interesting features for the bed and cab, and offer a ton of accessories like the Broncos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
passis Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 (edited) Not sure if they'll say something about it in the upcoming days but I'm curious about the whole price range. (Not just "starting at 20k") Edited June 1, 2021 by passis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
