Speak to your dealer to put in a retail order. Check the constraints list in the news section of the forum to improve your odds. After your order is placed, ford needs to confirm it. After it is confirmed , just hope the scheduler picks your order. (It depends on what they are looking to build for the week, how many orders are placed at your dealer, stellar constellation alignment, etc)
scheduling your build involves several factors out of your control, I dont understand people saying they have a priority number under 19, priority numbering starts with a allocation system dependent on other factors..
in most cases 19 is the best and 100 is the lowest. factors include
hard or soft sale, are you interested or definatly buying...
dealer sales, small dealers or dealerships that dont sell that many cars a month get higher priority ratings so pick your dealer wisely.
some dealers require you to put a deposit down, this does not speed up your scheduling, its stupid and greed on the dealers part... if you cancel your order the dealer will still except your order and sell it to somebody else, so why take money ahead of time when your not locked in anyway... go figure..
in the month of september the plant built bout 2000 mavericks, well under the capability of the plant due to whats called RAMP UP SCHEDULE.. the plant WILL NOT reach max production levels for months to come so patience is appreciated.
These are just some factors you have to be aware of instead of hear say by non automotive working people. I have 35 years at ford motor company actually building and shipping vehicles.. I wish all you a speedy delivery and it aint a harry potter world where you wave a wand and poof yours is ready..lol
typical hold ups that may get yours built before others..
PAINT CHOICE
ADDED EXTRAS AND EXTRAS THAT REQUIRE SHIPPING TO THE BUILD PLANT
OUTSIDE VENDOR PARTS- NO WORK OR SLOW DOWNS MEANS NO PARTS FOR YOUR ORDER THUS RE-SCHEDULED.
IN HOUSE DAMAGES- DIE CHANGES OR MODIIFICATIONS, SPLITS IN METAL, RE-TOOLING. ( THIS HAPPENS VERY FREQUENTLY WITH NEW BUILDS AND RAMP UP. QUALITY IS NUMBER1 SO THE LINES WILL BE SHUTDOWN TILL RESOLVED.
SHORTAGES OF CONSUMABLES- THIS IS ITEMS USED TO MANUFACTURE YOUR MAVERICK, LIKE ROBOT TIPS TO WELD METAL, SEALER AND ADHESIVES USED IN THE BUILD, GLASS, ETC.......
SORRY TO SOUND LIKE A SPOILER BUT , as you see the manufacturing of your vehicle is held up by a variety of things, if the launch and ramp up goes smoothly the vehicles role out smoothly and in large quantities...
