Do we know how delay late availability items will be? I guess I need to remove the splash guards and cargo net from my order then.

Might be easier and cheaper to buy those aftermarket anyway

So can I ask , what’s it going to cost to replace that rear window when it gets broken. Because we all know sooner or later something in the bed is going the take it out .

I ordered A Lariat First Addition painted Rapid Red (Late Availability). Why would Rapid Red, an existing Ford color, be list as Late Availability? Your comments and thoughts are welcomed.

The going theory is that since it's a First Edition only color that it's late availability to consolidate their lower number of orders into a larger batch to be built at once.

Are any of these options of "late availabilty" due to the tire brands associated with the option selected?

A lot of new info about additional options and packages for the Maverick.

https://www.reddit.com/r/FordMaverickTruck/comments/o9bop9
Late Availability according to order guide:

• 4K Tow for FWD XL/XLT (53Q)
• Bed Tray Liner (96B)
• Drop in bed liner (96J)
• Splash Guards F/R (63B)
• Bed Divider Kit (DIO)
• Cargo bed net (DIO)
• Rapid Red Paint (D4))

Some have asked if the late availability 4K tow package applied to Lariat or AWD and so looking at the packages I found it just seems to be the tires that come with the package that are late. (Images below)

The 225/65R17 AT tires with option code (T7J) that is late availability.

All tires with 4K Tow Package for reference:

• 225/65R17 A/T Tires on FWD XL/XLT Only (T7J)
• 225/65R17 A/S BSW Tires on AWD XL/XLT Only (T7R)
• 225/60R18 A/S BSW Tires (Std on Lariat) (T7Z)

Please correct me if I am wrong as I'm not sales and don't look at order guides too often.

The 2 examples above are for the hybrid You can't get any form of AWD with a hybrid truck. AWD comes only with the 2.0 engine. I can't imagine tires holding up a order

Received this from my dealer.

Max trailer tow J1 date is set for 11/1. That timing is subject to change however, though that is the current timing plan.

Why would the FIRST edition not be built first?

As it was explained to me,. "First Edition" doesn't mean "First Built". Think of it as "First Year Model, Factory Loaded Edition". You won't see a First Edition trim in MY23.

I heard this was a issue to do with not having enough pigment materials to make the paint in quantities needed. This article for reference:
Pigment Problems: Supplier Issues Could Leave Ford Without Red, Black Paint (motortrend.com)

And this affects Rapid Red, Cyber Orange, and a few other colors now, too. That article is from March, so hopefully things have improved since then.

Supplier issues with covid-19....It is going to take awhile for everything to get back to normal.

Why do you think the rear window would get broken so easily? How is it more breakable than any other truck?

No....I think my insurance company covers all glass breakage as "no cost to customer"

I just talked to someone at Ford Marketing. They told me that they worked around the chips that were delayed, so chips are a non issue. They don't know of any other delays, and that Production starts mid August with shipments starting September.--Now we wait to see what really happens.

Maybe this is a case of Ford under promising and they will over deliver.
