BIG QUESTIONS FOR THE LAST UPDATE

Another interesting point mentioned on the document is that the front-wheel-drive Maverick is no longer available with the Trailer Tow Package (53Q). Ford was not able to immediately comment on this point.

Doe this apply to all for mavericks that were already ordered? Or, does this apply to only new orders? I called my dealer and ford and im getting conflicting stories.

Ford corp says this only applies to new orders. If you ordered this package and signed off on it you will still get it. Both dealer and corp seem uncertain in all honesty. Can anyone confirm.

Do you happen to know the cut off date and when this was announced? The sales person at my dealership that handles the Maverick orders is out and won't be back until next week.

This change came out a few weeks ago and was discussed then--you might try searching the archives and watching some of the older videos for more info. As I recall, existing orders much be changed to either remove the 4k tow package or add AWD. Nothing will be built with FWD and 4k tow, including existing orders.

Note that this only applies to the 4k tow package--you can still get a tow hitch (some people were confused about this) and tow 2k lbs.

Yes and I've worked up an order change if needed, but I haven't found an official Ford announcement yet. When I first heard this about 2 weeks ago I went and checked with my sales representative and was told it hadn't been kicked back out of the system, also no email from Ford about this change to my order.

I just got off the phone with Ford ,marketing and gave them all my order code, sales code, other pertinent inormative. Confirmed FWD, and 4K package and it was still a valid order. I guess we'll have to wait and see

In the fine print of the 2022 Ford towing guide. The 4000 Towing and FWD option is listed with a note 3 Late availability for FWD. I attached here, but link is:

Thank you I just wonder how late is late. My birthday, Christmas, or retirement 🤔

My dealer contacted me to tell me that my FWD -w- 4K tow would no be built and asked me to come in to discuss options. I'll post more after I see him

Just got back from my dealer. Ford had changed my order from from FWD -w- 4K tow to AWD -w- 4K tow with a rebate to cover the change. Ford also changed my Priority code from 19 to 2, we'll see what happens

That's cool but I am a bit bothered by the fact that I had already chosen to go AWD. Will I get this same rebate? Look I know everyone got a bad deal with the 4k tow package and FWD but at the end of the day I think everyone needing to switch to AWD or already going AWD should get the same rebate. Otherwise I am paying more for not making the wrong choice up front. Guess we will see how this shakes out.

If I could have gotten all the extra engine and transmission cooling with out the 4K towing I would have but Ford made the decision not me
