What do the percentages mean for each line item?

Basically: % of all 23 Mavericks produced that can have those "constrained" options. So, for example, if they plan on building 100,000 23 Mavericks, only 35,000 can be hybrids.

So...what if you want a hybrid Lariat luxury with 360 Co-pilot? How many of those can be built?

I don't know if I am good enough at math to figure that out! I don't know if we can accurately estimate that number.... will the Lux pkg or 360 Co-pilot be evenly distributed between EcoBoost and Hybrid? Or will early EcoBoost orders snatch an overabundance of Lux and 360 packages, and there will be fewer left for the hybrids?

Lux package was removed 3/2/2022 from XLT. Here we are 09/14/2022 and still no production day. I think there is a priority list of dealerships that trumps order or order date. I have seen people who have order after my ordering date [10/21/2021] get their Maverick Lariat with Lux package included.

Allocation is still a thing, even though the age of orders was being prioritized. It all depends on how many orders each of those other dealerships had as well. And what constrained items all of those orders had...or did not have. There are many factors.

So I am looking at ordering an xlt hybrid with no other changes how does that look for my order?

I think hybrids will be difficult. Demand will be way higher than capacity. But yours not having other constrained items will give you a better chance to be scheduled earlier!

The fuel mileage of the hybrid will pretty much offset my payment if it wasn't for that I would be tempted to go for the 2.0.

Here is what I don't understand. They list the hybrid as a standard option yet only allocated 35%

Parts availability. They obviously underestimated the demand for the hybrid Maverick. And then the war in Ukraine causing a big increase in gas prices has made more and more people want hybrids. If Ford could, they would build as many as possible to keep up w/ demand. But the parts don't exist.

I was hopeful that since they knew of the high demand for hybrids by this time last year, that they would have been to source more parts.

Hybrid Escapes, Hybrid F-150, Hybrid Explorers all in short supply as well.

Back to the Hybrid option. What impact will the changes in federal tax credits have on the Maverick? will that tax credit be available for '23 Hybrid Mavericks?

Nothing. It didn't qualify before. And it still doesn't qualify now. The federal tax credits are for EVs and plug-in hybrids.
